Step 1
From Brownstone car park, follow the path all the way down to Froward Point (clearly signposted). This was a military road built during the Second World War to access a gun emplacement.
Step 2
Follow the coastal footpath to the right, towards Outer Froward Point. Along this section of the walk there are spectacular views over the Mewstone.
Step 3
Follow the coast path to the edges of Pudcombe Cove. Here, the route heads inland, but a nice detour is to the centre of the coast path at Pudcombe Cove, where there's a viewing point. From there, it's a short walk to the bottom of Coleton Fishacre garden (free entry to National Trust members).
Step 4
Follow the footpath inland (this section is steep in places), until you reach Brownstone Road. Head left down this quiet country road to return to Brownstone car park.
