Some of the WAGs group met for a ramble, on a section of the Southwest Coast Path in the South Hams. We started from the Warren National Trust car park, near Noss Mayo which is close to the coast path. The dirt track we used takes you down into Noss Mayo, there is a 100 yard section which is badly rutted. Great care is needed on this section, but the rest of the route is relatively easy. There is a slightly longer route avoiding the difficult section, to Noss Mayo on a quiet Devon lane. I will be mapping that route at a later date.
The official circular route listed on the Southwest Coast Path website, is just under 5 miles. This means returning back to the car park, shortly after passing Warren Cottage. We extended it to 7.8 miles by staying on the Carriage Drive, as far as Revelstoke car park near Stoke House. From there we returned back to the Warren car park, via the quiet country lane.
We had a problem with the gate at the Revelstoke car park, but were able to get the scooters through with difficulty. We had a lovely sunny day with a cold breeze, apart from the last 20 minutes with light rain. Due to the problem with the gate, I would advise you do the shorter route as listed on the Southwest Coast Path website.There is a link to the SWCPA website in my website’s information section.
