Tide Watch (1858)

Newton Ferrers (.3 miles)
At the end of a steep, narrow lane that leads nowhere but into the village, Newton Ferrers is a little piece of Devon that few stumble across. It sits on the banks of the Yealm Estuary, surrounded by ancient woodland and creeks. Although the village is just 10 miles from the city sprawl of Plymouth, Newton Ferrers teems with wildlife; kingfishers, egrets and herons are often spotted around the water. The heart of the village is the pub, The Dolphin Inn, which is surrounded by thatched cottages – the word ‘idyllic’ will be on the tip of your tongue.

The Ship Inn (.5 miles)
In a superb position right on the water, The Ship Inn is a peaceful, traditional pub without juke boxes or quiz machines, perfect for a relaxing lunch.

Wembury (2.3 miles)
Homes in the South Hams area of Devon are among some of the most expensive in the country for good reason. Utterly unspoilt, brimming with natural beauty at every turn and edged with gorgeous beaches, the South Hams are idyllic. Wembury village perches on a particularly lovely spot of coastline, with low, rocky cliffs to the front and gentle green farmland behind. Don’t miss the Wembury Marine Centre, where they’ll tell you all about the rich sea life that inhabits the south Devon waters.

Mothercombe Beach (3.5 miles)
Large, sheltered and unspoilt this beach has lots of fine sand at low tide and safe areas to bathe in shallow waters. Situated at the mouth of the River Erme and forming part of the Flete Estate, the beach has plenty of rocks to explore and climb. Good parking (although a 15 minute walk down a winding pathway) is nearby along with a shop, café and toilets. The beach is open to the public on Wednesdays and weekends.

Dartmoor Union Restaurant and Bar (3.9 miles)

Mount Batten Centre (5.3 miles)
