Walk - Scabbacombe and Mill Bay
6.2 miles (10.0 km)
Car Park to the north of Coleton Fishacre - TQ6 0EQ Car Park to the north of Coleton Fishacre
Challenging - This is a fairly strenuous section of the Coast Path, with a lot of ascent and descent, and in places the path is narrow and steep.
A challenging but very rewarding walk, with stunning views along the coast and a fascinating journey through the remnants of a Second World War battery en route, as well as a nature reserve and the National Trust property at Coleton Fishacre.
This is a dog-friendly walk. Have a look at our Top Dog Walks on the South West Coast Path for more dog-friendly beaches and pubs.
