Overview

Blow away the Christmas cobwebs and start the year as you mean to go on by joining you friends on the lovely coast and countryside walk.
Starting in the village of Membland we follow the road to Noss Mayo and connect with the SWCP. The walk continues easterly to the village of Mothercombe at the mouth of the river Erme. Turning inland our way back to the start point is via a series of quiet roads and bridleways.
