I’ve called this walk 24.5 because I wanted to include it but it was probably only just 4.5 km – so not really long enough.
The day started with Franky sadly receiving a phone call to say her dad had been rushed to hospital. Luckily her godmother lives in Paignton and came to collect her to take her down to Cornwall.
So with not brilliant weather and a rather distressing start to the day we set off for Dartmouth. Big hint to anybody visiting using the park and ride straight away !
We caught the ferry up to the castle and Jack , Pete and I visited. Alex declined and dipped his legs in the sea instead.
The castle information suggested a walk passed coastguard cottages and then cutting back to the coastal path. First a quite steep climb up – of course!
This part of the coastal path did undulate but not as extremely as the day before and it was partly through woods. This is great when you can glance to your right and glimpse the sea.
The South West Coastal path then continues back from the castle into the town, which we did rather than catch the ferry back.
I wanted to include this as it would be the last part of the path that I completed for a while and I’m not sure when I’ll next go on a walk with both of my sons.
