Noss Mayo to Blackstone Point

We parked in Noss Mayo village and walked along the River Yealm Estuary joining the South West Coast Path at Ferry Cottage.  This walk used to be very attractive at this time of the year with the wild rhododendrons at the side of the path.  However, there were only a few in flower and the rhododendrons looked rather depleted and sorry for themselves.

We walked to the end of the estuary and then followed the coast around to Blackstone Point.  The views were stunning looking out to the Mewstone across to Wembury, Cawsand and down the Cornish coast.

We left the coast Path and walked inland when we reached the Warren car park.  We then followed the path back to Noss Mayo.  Being above the estuary we had a wonderful view of the boats moored in the river.
