Devon Life|August 2017

If you want to take your dog out for the day, head for the South Hams.

Doggie Heaven In South Devon

THE South Hams, the southernmost tip of Devon, is an exceptionally dog-friendly area. Whether you are the proud owner of a bouncing border collie with energy to burn, or a calm corgi content with quiet days in the sunshine, there are walks, attractions and days out to suit the temperament of all dogs...and their owners!

Here are just a few things you and your four-legged friend can enjoy this summer.

WANDER, STROLL OR HIKE

Whatever your walking preference, undoubtedly one of the best ways of exploring South Devon is on foot. With miles of unspoilt, breathtakingly beautiful South West Coast Path, and a vast network of rural footpaths to be discovered, the opportunities really are endless. Whether you are a seasoned long distance walker or looking for a relaxing stroll you won’t be short of options, with routes for all abilities. Why not wander along the coast path from Hope Cove to Bantham, admiring the mesmerising scenery including Thurlestone Rock and Burgh Island along the way?
