Circular walk from Little Dartmouth

A beautiful four-mile circular coastal walk with some impressive sea and estuary views, following the boats along the coast towards the safe harbour of Dartmouth. Along the way you'll see birds, grasshoppers, crickets and butterflies and, for many the highlight of the walk, the ruins of Gallants Bower, an old Civil War fort with impressive 360-degree views.
