I previously posted a map of the South West Coast Path National Trail together with some views from it as it snakes along the cliffs of North Cornwall (4th July 2011).
Here the path arrives at the village of Wembury, on the southern coast of Devon, having followed the eastern shoreline of Plymouth Sound from the city waterfront.
It is a wonderful walk of about 12 miles or so and very popular with both visitors and local people all the year round.
You can also follow this coast in one of the pleasure boats that operate from the Barbican, in Plymouth.Enjoy a cruise
The church, dedicated to St Werburgh, overlooks the small beach and looks out to the Mew Stone and Plymouth Sound.
The present structure dates from the fourteenth century and with its unbroken record of births (from 1611) and deaths (from 1612) it is of consderable historic importance.
After passing the church, the path follows the low cliffs to the mouth of the River Yealm (in the centre of the picture) and the beautiful waterside village with its tranquil yacht haven, which lies hidden from the sea.
