This circular route takes in some of the best coastal views of Devon and Cornwall and the opportunity for two swims, one at the secluded beach at Penlee Point and the other off Cawsand beach at the end of the walk. The walk itself is primarily on coastal path with only a short inland section. The views are stunning and stretch to Dartmoor, over Plymouth, to the Eddystone lighthouse, the Mewstone and along the Cornish coast including Whitsand Bay. We visit the fascinating grotto at Penlee point and the old chapel right on the top of Rame Head. This guided walk is suitable for those with prior experience of wild swimming or cold water immersion. you don't have to have lots of experience but you do need to have done it before due to the remote location of the walk. I also run Introduction to Cold Water Swimming Courses in Plymouth. 18+ only, for family walks please get in touch. We will be out for approximately 4-5 hours in total and there will be plenty of opportunity to rest on the way.
Terrain - This walk follows the coastal path with uphill and downhill sections. It is mostly a good path but can be muddy in places. The access to the beach is over open ground, down some steps and easily over the rocks.
Approximate distance of walk - 9km
All walks must be booked in advance via the website. Alternative dates are available, please see www.cathyharshaw.com/calendar
