Sunday 7th July Jennycliff to Heybrook Bay

Well with being away for a few days and hearing that the Tuesday group were going to do this walk and knowing that I haven't been on this bit of the coast before and with the fantastic weather it was decided, following a short committee meeting in Horrabridge, that we would do the walk anyway (or some of it).

So we parked in the large free car park and set off up the hill.

The view  back to Plymouth and...

...this much zoomed in photo of the Hoe.

A very helpful motorist stopped to tell us not to use the first entrance to the woods because the path is blocked and to join the footpath by this sign.












As you approach and go round Staddon Point you have a superb view of the breakwater....

 ...which is much wider than you would imagine when viewing from the Hoe

Construction started in 1812 and it was completed by 1814 to provide protection and a safe anchorage for the Channel Fleet.











As we went around Staddon Point and down the steps the holiday village came into view.

Bovisand Bay and perfect weather for the beach.

The holiday village.

The Great Mew Stone.

Crab baguettes at The Eddystone in Heybrook Bay.












In the distance the Ferry approaches Plymouth Sound

Then the return leg.

The steps back up the path around Staddon Point.

 With radar and camera for the shipping control.

 A reminder that this is a training area for our Troops.

















And Plymouth Hoe comes back into view.
