Plymouth to Dartmouth

The Boatyard@ The Beershack, Plymouth

Outside bar overlooking the water, near Plymouth Hoe - fell in here for a drink just after arrival from the train down. It's part of The Corinthian next door (but separate entrance off the street)

The Waterfront, Plymouth

Venue for dinner on our first night - the mussels were a highlight, and the fish and chips were great

The Three Crowns, Plymouth

Down by the marina, we had a post-dinner visit here on a very busy Saturday night, good buzz, absolutely heaving

Mount Batten Bar, Plymouth

Stopped for an opportune drink here around lunchtime on day one after 7 miles - well positioned for that purpose!

Eddystone Inn, Heybrook Bay

Made a planned stop here for Sunday lunch on day one - no options to eat in Wembury on a Sunday evening at the time of our walk. Glad we did, as this might be one of the best pub Sunday lunch we've ever had , and we ate it in the sun, outside, overlooking the sea!

The Odd Wheel, Wembury

Had a couple of pints here on our first evening - nice place, though it was up yet another hill from our B&B, which is already up from the path!

The School House, Mothecombe

Great place to stop while waiting for tide to be right at The Erme. Best mushroom pizza ever consumed.

Fryer Tucks, Challaborough

We had take away fish and chips, but you can sit in. Very welcoming, fab fish and chips, and even had a pint of Salcombe IPA in the sun overlooking the bay while waiting for food to be cooked!

Bigbury Baykery

On the way out of Challaborough, we came across a van with a lady offering cinnamon buns! We couldn't resist - her sourdough bread looked amazing as well!

Cottage Hotel, Hope Cove

We had a drink and great lunch on the balcony overlooking Hope Cove - everyone was very welcoming! Make the effort to walk the extra few steps up the hill.

Bo's Beach Cafe, South Sands, Salcombe

Very welcome little bar right on the beach after our long stretch from Hope Cove to Salcombe. Had originally planned to stop at the South Sands Hotel but it looked much too posh for our sweaty tired needs - not sure they'd have welcomed us anyway and we'd take Bo's anytime!

The Fortescue Inn, Salcombe

Collapsed into here for a tired dinner at the end of our long third day - normal pub food, some other places looked more upmarket, but this suited us given our situation

The Kings Arms, Salcombe

Popped in here for a pint after dinner on our first night - this is the one that was more upmarket! The restaurant looked great, we enjoyed our pint.

The Pasty Shack, Salcombe

Had a take away pasty for lunch on our day off - very tasty!

The Ferry Inn, Salcombe

Had a couple of lunchtime drinks here on our day off in Salcombe (also celebrating a birthday so that's our excuse) - a few old memories, as Salcombe was a childhood holiday destination

Cranches Sweet Shop, Salcombe

It's been there for years and years, try the fudge and the bonbons!

dickandwills Waterside Grill and Bar, Salcombe

Very nice restaurant for a birthday celebration. Started with cocktails overlooking the harbour and then inside for lovely food, and more wine

Victoria Inn, Salcombe

More drinks after dinner on our day off, to complete the collection of Salcombe pubs.

The Bake House, Salcombe

Purchased pasties and sausage rolls here, morning of our fourth day walking. Not sure these beat the pasties from the previous day, but The Bake House was open at the time we wanted to buy pasties, so that made it perfect!!

The Cricket Inn, Beesands

Perfect place in Beesands! Right on the path, and we completed the full set - a couple of beers outside as we arrived (complete with dolphin sighting!), then checked into to very nice accommodation, had a lovely dinner, a comfortable sleep, and the best full english of the trip the following morning. One stop for everything and no reason to go anywhere else!!

Blackpool Sands Cafe

Despite the name, this is a lovely beach on the path from Beesands to Dartmouth. Only stopped for a diet coke, but the food options looked attractive.

Dartmouth Castle Tea Rooms

Opportunistic ice cream stop, just a mile or so from the end of the walk, and they stamped our little book!

Embankment Bistro, Dartmouth

Celebrated completing the walk here with a couple of beers in the sun on arrival in Dartmouth

Bar 1620, Dartmouth

Had pre-dinner cocktails here on our last night

Bayards Cove Inn, Dartmouth

Location for our final night dinner - couldn't resist the fish and chips

The Crab, Dartmouth

Post dinner drink here on our final night - after all we could sleep on the train on the way home!
