Bigbury on Sea · 1 checked & stamped
Boots on. These are the Bigbury on Sea walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
A challenging 6.5 miles of about three and a half hours, up the wooded Avon estuary on the Estuary Way, inland to the thatched village of Ringmore and back along open clifftop past Ayrmer Cove and Challaborough, with 330 metres of climbing and several short sharp descents. Start at the large pay-and-display car park above Bigbury-on-Sea, which looks out at Burgh Island and is the only substantial parking for miles; the 875 bus runs from Modbury on Fridays only, so plan on driving. Dogs get a long off-lead stretch on the estuary path and at Ayrmer Cove, and the Journey's End at Ringmore takes them, but the Bigbury beach where you park bars dogs between 10am and 7pm from 1 May to 30 September, and there is grazing stock in almost every field on the inland half.
