About
THIS EVENT IS PART OF THE ENGLISH RIVIERA WALKING FESTIVAL
On this circular walk from Kents Cavern prehistoric caves, you will experience the outstanding natural beauty and geology of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark along the South West Coast Path. Beginning at Britain’s Oldest Home, where humans lived 500,000 years ago, we wander through tranquil woods, along breath-taking coastlines. The walk picks up a section of the South West Coast Path that incorporates the spectacular headland of Thatcher Point, the most photographed geological feature in Torbay. Passing the northern headland of Torbay, we head back to the starting point along the Bishop’s Walk, with views across Lyme Bay to the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site and via Anstey’s Cove, reputed to have been Agatha Christie’s favourite beach.
Discover how Torquay’s rocks gave rise to the naming of the Devonian period of geological time
Visit Charles Darwin’s beach front home
Admire the famous islands on Torquay’s coastline, which are home to colonies of guillemots
Be inspired by the jaw dropping vistas, which on a clear day, stretch to Portland in Dorset – 40 miles away!
We may be lucky and glimpse a porpoise or seal!
