Recommended Walks...Where to Start!
The best place to start is to note that the Parish has a regular walking group called TRAMPS. Visitors and residents are always welcome to join the group. There is an area on this website for Tramps under Clubs & Groups and there is a program of walks so you can plan ahead.
In terms of local walks let us start by focusing on the area of this parish which encompasses its most famous circular walk...
Bantham - Thurlestone. This walk can easily be shortened in half as there are paths leading through the Yarmer estate and across Thurlestone Golf Course via public footpaths to the coastal path. Here is a link showing the route and other information together with a larger map.

If you want further extensions to this walk with the same level of difficulty then continuing on the coastal path from Bantham, past Thurlestone, to Hope Cove will roughly double the distance.
Slightly further afield there are numerous walks available within a short driving distance from the parish. Below is a link to a website showing 20 walks and hikes all within the South Hams.
For the really adventurous we are located on the famous 630 mile long South West Coast Path and below is a link to their website.
Lastly, the link below is a map from Devon County Council showing all the footpaths in the whole of Devon.
