Walk Waypoints
- 1 This walk starts on the sea wall adjacent to Dawlish Station. The sea wall is accessed by going under the railway bridge, then turn right.
- 2 Once you get to the end, where the railway line heads into a tunnel, the coast path continues up the cliff into a small park (Lea Mount).
- 3 Once you've climbed up to the top, it is a short walk through the park before you join the main road.
- 4 Follow the main road and look out for the sign back to the coast path on the left, this section takes you around Holcombe, with excellent views. Note that it is not possible to get to Horse Cove, below.
- 5 There is a steep climb down to where a little stream runs out to sea, then a steep climb back up again. The path then re-joins the road for a short distance. (This section can be missed, if you continue along the main road you will reach Smugglers Lane)
- 6 When walking along the road, look out for the sign back to the coast path, it is down a small road called Smugglers Lane.
- 7 At the end of this road the path goes under the railway line and steps rejoin the sea wall adjacent to the railway line. Please be aware you may be unable to use these steps at some high tides.
- 8 The sea wall then runs all the way into Teignmouth.
