Little Dartmouth, an area managed by the National Trust in Devon, is a beautiful coastal spot perfect for a leisurely walk. With stunning sea and estuary views, visitors can follow the coast path towards the charming harbor of Dartmouth. There is a gorgeous walk you can do here of about 4 miles. Along the way, you might spot birds, butterflies, and even basking seals on the rocks below. One of the highlights of the walk is the ruins of Gallants Bower, an old Civil War fort that offers impressive 360-degree views. Whether you're a nature lover or history enthusiast, Little Dartmouth has something for everyone to enjoy. So grab your walking shoes and get ready to explore this hidden gem on the Devon coastline!
