Yealm Estuary from Wembury

After another wet week we were expecting showers on Sunday afternoon and paths to be muddy, so we did not anticipate having a proper walk so I did not take my camera when we went to Wembury Beach.  However, it was fine so we started to walk and it turned into a lovely walk.  And surprisingly the paths were not muddy.
We were following the walk on the nationaltrust.org.uk site.  We walked from the end of the car park along the South West Coast Path up to Rocket Cottage where the SW Coast Path goes down to the ferry across the Yealm.  Instead of taking this path we walked on into Clitters Wood.  We had glimpses of the River Yealm with the moored yachts through the trees.  The path went up to nearly Thorn House, which was the garden I visisted earlier in the year.  At this point we cut inland and went across fields until we came to Warrens Lane.  The walk on the national trust site went right at this point to go into Wembury village.  However, we turned left and walked down the lane to Rocket Cottage and then walked back to the car along the SW Coastal Path.

There were a number of ups and downs on this walk but it was not too strenuous and we will definitely have to redo it when I have my camera.
