Kingswear to Dawlish

A 36 mile walk starting at Kingswear, just across the estuary from Dartmouth. The path follows the cliffs along Dartmouth harbour and then turns to head north through some remote areas before reaching the outskirts of Brixham, where we rounded Berry Head to finish at the harbour. Day 2 began with a steep climb out of Brixham, then some ups and downs through Churston Cove and Elberry Cove, before reaching the English Riviera at Paignton. It's flattish for while, except for a couple of bumps around Roundham and Hollicombe, then the climbing begins again out of Torquay around the headland and up to Babbacombe. Day 3 isn't any easier, with almost constant ups and downs through Maidencombe all the way to the Ness above Shaldon. The final section from Teignmouth to Dawlish is easier, and only the exertions of the previous days made the final little climb through Holcombe feel like it was chore. What a fabulous stretch of coast path!
