Maker-with-Rame walks

This short and easy walk is the perfect place if you want to admire the view of Plymouth Sound, St John's lake, Cawsand Bay and the mouth of the River Tamar, particularly at sunset.

This circular walk starting from the Church of St Mary and St Julian, mainly along the coastal path, provides a way of visiting World Heritage sites around the mouth of River Tamar including Mount Edgcumbe and Cremyll.

This beautiful walk from Penlee Battery, mostly using the coastal path along Rame peninsula, provides a way of visiting places including Queen Adelaïde's grotto, St Mickael's chapel and Cawsand village.

The Two Moors Way was officially opened on 29 May 1976. In 2005 the Two Moors Way was linked with the Erme–Plym Trail from Ivybridge to Wembury on the south Devon coast to create a cross-county coast-to-coast route of over 115 miles.

This stage is really an add-on to the official route. There is an option to use the Erme-Plym Trail that is, in itself, an add-on to the original Two Moors Way. This will take you straight to Ivybridge through Brixton and Yealmpton. However, this route takes you along the coast to Wembury. The ferry option reduces the road walking considerably.

Go for a swim, paddle your feet, pick up a stone or just take a photo. Whatever you do at the beginning of the walk, from here on, the route drives inland towards the higher ground of The Dartmoor National Park. It weaves its way through Brixton, Yealmpton and Ermington before reaching Ivybridge, using the Erme-Plym Trail.

A walk following some of the ancient green lanes or “holloways” linking the fields and villages behind Wembury to the shoreline below. There are great views out over the Channel and Plymouth Sound before dropping back down onto the South West Coast Path.

A circular walk taking in one of the easier stretches of the South West Coast path between Wembury and Bovisand, with a circular return along lanes and paths via Staddiscombe. Most of the gradients are gentle, with a few steep sections. Can be combined with a walk to Warren Point for a longer route.

A circular walk on well-marked paths through the countryside and along the coast path from Wembury to Warren Point, with views of the coast and Yealm estuary.

A lovely walk of two halves. The cliffs and views of the open coast out to the Great Mewstone, then around to the mouth of the Yealm estuary with its busy harbour, wooded valleys and pretty villages.

For any visitor to Plymouth, the city offers many places to visit and explore, from its historic past, the Barbican, the Hoe, etc. This route is part of the National Cycle Route 27 (NC27), and can be completed by cycle, including the route from Saltram Point (3). At which point NC 27 continues towards the South Hams, etc. This route starts conveniently at the Marsh Mills Park and Ride, a short ride out from the city centre, near a hotel and campsite. The route follows the River Plym into the Saltram Estate, featuring a large country house now managed by the National Trust, passing an old Amphitheatre, with estuarial views.

The many faces of maritime South Devon in one walk; the wild open sea and rugged coast, sheltered estuary, wooded riverbanks, and the waterfront village of Noss Mayo with its chocolate box charm.

Crossing the River Plym and climbing up through the woods to the top. At the top of the rocky outcrop, see the far-reaching views of Plymouth Sound, passing through stone circle clusters, and a waymark cross. Crossing the river again at Cadover, then following the old 'Pipe Track' back down to Shaugh Bridge.

This small and easy walk mainly in Denhman wood lets you discover old Denham bridge (17th-century) and the banks of the River Tavy.

This is a walk up and along the river Plym, leading to Ditsworthy Warren House. A remote, now disused farm. The house was used during the filming of War Horse, a film directed by Steven Spielberg. Around the area, there is still evidence of old mine workings and Rabbit Warrens. Then walking across Ringmoor Down, across old field systems, and then onto Brisworthy Plantation, before meeting the country lanes back to the start.

Shavercombe Falls is a small but pretty waterfall at the head of a valley. This route up the River Plym passes many remnants from the past, often overlooked due to a lack of awareness, from the unusual landscape along the way to unusual place names.

This route leads out over open moorland, climbing to a high point with far-reaching views over south Devon. Not far from where the River Yealm rises, it tumbles over a series of moorland rocks forming steps down the valley, and although still a young river, the water cascades over the rocks. During heavy rain, the runoff from the surrounding moorland awakens the stream to an impressive waterfall. The route back passes many Stone Age Settlements, Stone Row (optional), and the 'moonscape' of the now disused China Clay Works.

A short walk along quiet country lanes and tracks across fields.
