Trail 1- Bolt Head

This trail is approximately 8.5miles (13.5km) long. If starting from Salcombe you can catch the South Sands ferry from Whitestrand to point 2 taking in Salcombe Castle on the way. There is a public car park at North Sands near point 1 and a National Trust car park at East Soar near point 10.

When using this trail please use a walkers map, the terrain can be quite challenging in places and you may want to choose an alternative route or split the trail. For example the trail can be split into two walks as follows:

1) West section: 3.5 miles/5.6km. Park at the East Soar National Trust Car Park for locations 6 to10

2) East section: 5.5 miles/8.8km. Park at either the East Soar National Trust Car Park, or the North Sands car park, for locations 1 to 5 and 11

Between points 1 and 8 the path follows the acorn waymarked South West Coast Path. The whole route is on public footpaths.

Our self-guided Low Tide Trails can be followed virtually as well as physically. If you do go for a physical walk using our trail as a guide you are responsible for your own welfare and safety. MOLA/CITiZAN cannot accept any liability for injury/damage/trespass as a result.

The harder you search the more you will find in this friendly little museum...... A treasure trove of models, paintings, photographs and artefacts which tell the story of Salcombe’s links with ships and the sea from ancient times to the Second World War.

Come and see the artefacts from all the sites you have just visited...
