If you want to see Babbacombe in all its glory, this walk is a must! However, it includes numerous steps and descents and is not suitable for anyone unfit or with knee problems. The walk starts at Babbacombe Road and takes you via various small parks to the famous olde shops at Fore Street. Soon you will be joining the Coastal Footpath to Oddicombe Beach and the Babbacombe Cliff Railway. Continue along a magnificent stretch of the coast. It looks as if the path leads into the sea but it climbs safely to a higher level and then using bridges you arrive at a small harbour and the Cary Arms.From here, the route climbs to the welcoming space of Walls Hill with breathtaking views of the coast. Free but limited:Cary Avenue area |
