Estuaries, rolling countryside, and a coastline shaped by the sea
Sheltered estuaries, rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and dramatic coastal scenery create a landscape where land and water are closely connected. Stretching along the south Devon coast between Plymouth and Torbay, the South Devon National Landscape combines historic harbour towns, quiet countryside, and some of England's most distinctive coastal walking.
Long-distance trails such as the South West Coast Path and sections of the Two Moors Way pass through the landscape, linking places including Salcombe, Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Totnes, Brixham, and Start Point. Clifftop paths, estuary trails, woodland tracks, and quiet country lanes reveal changing views across tidal creeks, sandy coves, rolling hills, and open sea, creating journeys shaped by both coast and countryside.
Whether following the coastline, exploring river estuaries, or walking between villages and harbour towns, South Devon rewards time spent on foot. Maritime heritage, varied landscapes, and a strong connection between settlement and sea make it one of England's most rewarding destinations for self-guided travel.
