I use the Ordinance Survey App to record the walks on this page for you to follow.
You’ll be able to follow a simplified version of the map without paying for a subscription.
However, with a subscription you’ll have more access to detail and the ability to download the map ahead of time incase you don’t have signal on your route. If you’re a new user, there is a 14 day free trial available.
It can feel a little overwhelming navigating the app at first, but there how to videos to help you. It’s worth a little persistence as it has lots of great features like:
route planning and plotting
saving your own walks
accessing other people’s saved walks
it shows your live location on the map at all times, and what direction you’re facing.

Learning to comfortably navigate with the OS Maps app empowered me to explore new places as I can see all the available footpath I can always see where I am on the map!
Noss Mayo Circular
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!
Kingston Circular
My friend Laura and I set off on this walk on the 9th of April and it just so happened that the bluebells in Wrinkle Wood were in full bloom! They were an unexpected spring treat and we couldn’t quite believe we found a walk to the beach which also included a bluebell wood! It was a sunny day and the gorse was in full bloom and filled the air with clouds of honeyed coconut. Keep and eye out for Bigbury and Burgh Island as you head along the coast path towards Westcombe Beach, and make sure you pause for moment and enjoy the view from the granite bench!
