(S/E) From the car park, walk down the steps between the cafe and public convenience and turn right to follow the coast path.
(1) At the signpost, follow the path towards Minehead (only 424 miles away!). Continue along the path, which is well-used, for just over a mile to Heybrook Bay. Out to sea is the Great Mew Stone, and as you approach Wembury Point you will see the Radar station on the headland above you.
(2) The path joins a private road at Heybrook Bay. Follow the road down to the bottom of the valley, turn left and cross the bridge/ford, then turn left again down a track to follow the coast path towards Bovisands.
(3) The coast path emerges into Bovisands Park holiday centre. Follow the private road through the centre until you reach the county road after the large car park.
(4) Turn left and walk down towards the beach, past the static caravan park.
(5) Turn right onto a narrow lane. The lane broadens then joins a stream as it climbs up through the valley, before joining the county road at Little Lane.
(6) Go straight on and walk up the road until you reach the junction.
(7) Cross the junction carefully - the road can be busy - and go straight on. Follow the road around to the right until it reaches the main road.
(8) Carefully cross the main road and take the path along the track. This is the Erme Plym Trail. Follow the path into the fields and follow the arrow markers along the hedge, across a field and steeply down into the valley. Cross a pair of footbridges, and follow the path as it climbs the valley and through the fields.
(9) At the road, turn right and follow the road past Traine Farm.
(10) Turn right onto the footpath and follow the path through the fields.
(11) Where the path divides, follow the Erme Plym Trail to the left down into the valley and down to the road.
(12) When you reach the road turn left, then turn right onto the bridle path. There is an alternative high-level footpath, which may be drier underfoot but which may be partially obstructed. Both paths lead to exactly the same place.
(13) At the road, take the road ahead towards Wembury Beach, then take the left-hand road towards St Werburgh's Church before turning right onto the footpath. This footpath will lead you back to the car park.
