Walk 8 - The Barbican to Bovisand along the coastal footpath

Summer had arrived! It was a hot sunny day, good for walking to the beach. 25 people met outside the central post office. Packed lunches were handed out, and we walked through town to the Barbican.

We caught the ferry to Mount Batten. We started walking along the South West Coastal footpath. The path was narrow and steep. You could look back to Plymouth across the water.

The walk took us along the cliffs to Bovisand bay. The views were stunning.

 

We stopped and had our lunch on the beach. It would be a good place to bring children in the summer.

To get back to Plymouth, we followed a shady footpath inland, across fields and through some woods. We finally reached the main road...right next to a bus stop! We caught the number 2 bus back to the city.
