The first walk of moderate difficulty follows part of small river,the Dawlish Water, with its famous black swans introduced from Australia. On the town's outskirts, it climbs fairly steadily for about 15 minutes,but descends gently offering magnificent views of the sea and countryside. The final stretch is along the sea front towards Cowhole Rock and a row of colourful beach huts. | |||

Walk 5
| Walk 5 Exploring Olde Rural Devon (8.2 miles) | Time:3h 20 mins |
 Tap map for larger version | This quite strenuous walk takes you back in time and inland towards Gulliford & the foothills of Haldon along a very ancient track , part of which can be muddy after heavy rain. It returns via Pitt Farm ,a 13th century farm (1215), & follows footpaths & country lanes, including Port Road, part of the Port Way used by 'pirates' to smuggle their wares from the Teign to Dawlish. The final stretch joins the South West Coastal Path at Dawlish Warren. The views are quite breathtaking.
