The Best Walks in Devon

Step into South Devon

Cary Arms is perfectly placed for venturing onto the South West Coastal Path and beyond to discover some of the best walks in Devon.  Stretching for 630 miles from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall and onto the shores of Poole Harbour in Dorset, the path is England’s longest waymarked long-distance walking trail.

The Torbay stretch of the coastal path is one of the most scenic and offers some of the best walks in Devon. Running from Brixham to Maidencombe and on to Teignmouth, the path takes in secret coves, vibrant coastal towns, spectacular sea views and unspoilt scenery. The coastal path is well signposted along the way.

We have created our very own Cary Arms Walk Book with a selection of our favourite Torquay walks to share with our guests. Here’s a small selection of some of the best walks in Devon and the surrounding area for you to explore.
