Dog Walks in: South Devon

South Devon

Uncover the picturesque charm and diverse landscapes of South Devon, a region brimming with dog walking opportunities from its stunning coastline and charming estuaries to the wild expanses of Dartmoor. This popular area offers a perfect blend of gentle coastal strolls, woodland rambles, and exhilarating moorland hikes.

Explore beautiful sections of the South West Coast Path as it winds along the English Riviera and through the unspoilt South Hams, revealing hidden coves, sandy beaches, and picturesque fishing villages like Salcombe and Brixham. Enjoy tranquil walks through woodlands and along the banks of rivers like the Dart and Teign, or discover the unique Jurassic Coast stretching into the eastern part of the region, offering geological wonders.

For a more rugged adventure, the untamed granite tors and vast open spaces of Dartmoor National Park provide endless opportunities for exhilarating walks, with unique wildlife and stunning vistas. Whether you're after a coastal breath of fresh air or a bracing moorland trek, South Devon provides a wealth of memorable dog-friendly experiences.

Remember to always follow the Countryside Code, keeping your dog under close control, especially around livestock (especially on Dartmoor) and wildlife, and observing any seasonal beach restrictions, to protect this beautiful and varied region.
