South West Coast Path: Falmouth to Exmouth: From St Mawes Castle to the Exe Estuary - 179 miles of dramatic and historic coastli

Description

The South West Coast Path follows Britain's stunning coastline for 630 miles around the southern tip of Britain. This volume covers the 172 miles of the National Trail along the south Cornwall and Devon coast from Falmouth to the mouth of the Exe. It takes in some of Britain's most popular beaches and resorts, as well as arresting clifftop scenery, romantic coves and the spectacular drowned estuaries of the Fal, the Yealm and the Dart. Whether you want golden sands, the steep streets of picturesque fishing villages, this book is all you need as your guide to this wonderful walk. This new edition has been fully revised and updated for 2015 and completely redesigned to feature many more colour photographs and much added information on the history, wildlife and cultural associations of the landscape this stretch of the Trail traverses. National Trail Guides are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England and Wales and are published in association with Walk Unlimited, the official body charged with developing and maintaining the Trails.
