Walking & Cycling
There are many beautiful walks to be made from Tuckenhay Mill to suit all abilities. Bow Creek which is overlooked by the mill forms part of the Dart Valley Trail and gives you access to the Creek and main river. Sharpham vineyard is within walking distance (2.5m) and has stunning views through the Dart Valley. From Sharpham you can walk or cycle to Totnes away from the roads and if required return by taxi.
There are further cycle paths in and around Totnes giving you access to Dartington Hall and its beautiful gardens and Deer Park.
The beaches from Dartmouth to Hope Cove give you miles of coastal paths, including Slapton beach which hosted the trail landings for Normandy and the nature reserve.

South West Coast Path
With 19th century origins as a coastguard patrol route to restrict smuggling, the modern day South West Coast Path is England’s longest waymarked footpath. It runs for 630 miles, from Minehead on the edge of Exmoor to the shores of Poole Harbour and offers the ultimate challenge for the long distance walker.
