Hoist Point walk 

Park in the lovely village of Kingston (near Ringmore) to explore the highest point of this coastline between Plymouth and Dartmouth. This circular, strenuous trail has some great beaches to visit along the way, ideal places to take a rest after the climb. Why not pop into the 16th century pub, The Dolphin, in Kingston before returning home?
