Country Inn, Guided Hiking and Walking Tours

Our 8 day tour combines almost everything England has to offer; medieval villages, bucolic farmland, flower filled gardens, winding footpaths and one of the most impressive coastlines in Europe!

Most of our 8 days will be spent walking the Devon Coast Path and visiting the picturesque towns and villages on England’s southwest peninsula. The coast path offers unforgettable walking that combines breathtaking scenery with gentle farmland and scenic coastal villages.

Our first sight of the Devon coast comes in truly spectacular fashion. After following the wooded banks of the East Lynn River we emerge from the forest onto the sweeping plains of Exmoor. Below us are the red tinged Countisbury Cliffs (the highest sea cliffs in England) and ahead, nestled at the mouth of the river, is the village of Lynmouth. Our inn, The Rising Sun Hotel forms the center piece of this harbor-side village. The poet, Shelly, spent his honeymoon here in this thatched 14th century hotel and R.D. Blackmore spent time here while writing Lorna Doone!

Before heading toward the south Devon coast path, we take a day to explore the stark beauty of Dartmoor. The wild Dartmoor ponies that roam the moors are always a delight to see.

The last 3 days we take to the coast path again as we pass sandy beaches and turquoise-colored bays on our way to the charming towns of Salcombe and finally, Dartmouth, a bustling, fascinating, medieval town. This trip starts just outside London, in the charming market town of Dorking.
