Embark on a moderate hike along the Noss Mayo and Revelstoke Drive Loop, a 4.7-mile (7.6 km) route that takes about 2 hours and 7 minutes to complete. You will gain 444 feet (135 metres) in elevation as you explore South Devon's varied landscapes. The trail offers a mix of rugged coastal views, looking out over Wembury Bay towards Plymouth Sound, and the tranquil, sheltered estuary of the River Yealm. As you hike, you will pass through wooded riverbanks, where you might spot wildflowers and butterflies. The charming waterfront villages of Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers add to the picturesque setting, providing a glimpse into local life.
To begin your adventure, you can typically find parking in Noss Mayo, which serves as a convenient starting point for the loop. The path is generally accessible, with much of it following the historic Revelstoke Carriage Drive. This section is wide and even, making it suitable for many. However, be aware that some optional woodland footpaths can be more demanding, featuring steps and uneven terrain. Plan your visit to enjoy the diverse scenery at your own pace.
This route takes you through the stunning South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, showcasing both the open sea and dramatic coastline alongside the peaceful estuary of the River Yealm. The trail highlights the contrast between these two distinct environments. You will encounter expansive viewpoints, such as the 'View of the South Devon Coast', offering sweeping vistas. The presence of charming waterfront villages like Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers further enriches the experience, blending natural beauty with local character.
