Overview

After walking on lanes and footpaths into Down Thomas, we head down to the coast, with good views gradually opening up. We'll take a long break at Bovisand beach, with time for a swim and/or a cafe visit. Then we follow the stream along a wooded path, finally crossing fields back to the cars/

Mainly footpaths and country lanes, easy underfoot, with one long gentle ascent and descent. There are several stiles.
