Mewstone View, Wembury

Wembury is a small unspoilt coastal village in the South Hams area of Devon. Much of the surrounding coastline belongs to the National Trust and is of outstanding natural beauty. From beautiful coastal and woodland walks to rock pool rambles and brilliant surfing, there is something for everyone at Wembury. Take a walk along the South West Coast Path from the beach to Wembury Point where there are magnificent views across the bay towards the infamous Mewstone, an angular and imposing offshore island dominating the bay, with steep barren slopes reflecting its dark past as a smuggler’s sanctuary and prison. Wembury village with its pretty church offers excellent local amenities including a village shop, pub, café and Wembury marine centre. Nearby Bovisand beach is a sheltered bay of yellow sand with cliffs either side, popular with locals and families and famous for its diving wrecks and home to some fantastic marine life. Plymouth with its history, boats, shopping and entertainment is easily accessible by bus, car and ferry.
