Noss Mayo and Revelstoke Drive

It was a fine summer's day and we wanted an easy walk not far from Plymouth.  The walk from Noss Mayo, along the Yealm estuary and around the coast along the Revelstone Drive to Warren point, seemed to be a good idea.  We chose to park at the National Trust car park at Warren point and walked down the path onto the coastal path and walked towards the mouth of the River Yealm.

In the past we have done this walk in the other direction, starting at Noss Mayo.  As we started out we noticed the wonderful view, over to Cawsand and as far as Rame Head.  We had not noticed these views when walking the other way around.

There were foxgloves growing at the side of the path and after walking for a while we came upon a purple field of foxgloves.

This is a very good part of the south west coast path, with beautiful views and a fairly flat path.  Once we reached the mouth of the River Yealm we also had sight of the yahts.  After walking up the river Yealm we came to some benches so we stopped for our lunch, with a beautiful view.

We continued walking on to Noss Mayo and then walked up the hill past the tennis courts.  This road became a track and ended up, after a long upward climb by the entrance to the car park.  This was the only hill on the walk.
