Noss Mayo Circular

South Devon Walks

Apr 11

This walk was the route we walked for our first ever Social Stroll at Heartlands and Wild Edges. It was a beautiful, blustery, blue-skied morning in April. This walk is full or of a variety of landscapes from wild coastal paths, bluebell woods, rolling fields and time along the estuary and the quaint village of Noss Mayo. There’s an option to drop down for a secluded wild swim at Cellar Beach - definitely worth the stairs up and down again!

Keep an eye out for the honesty style road side stall as you walk up the hill, out of the village, back to the car park!

Parking/Start Point: Warren National Trust Car Park . This car park is accessed through winding country roads. It can fill quickly so I would recommend arriving earlier rather than later. (We started our walk at 9am and the car park was empty.) It’s free for National Trust members and £3 for the day for non-members.
