Top Hiking areas in Plymouth, United Kingdom

Bit windy but nice open place to spend quality time. Great picnic spot.

Beautiful park with stunning views of the ocean especially on a sunny July evening. Free parking available with plenty of space. Dog friendly park with lots of benches to sit on and enjoy the gorgeous view of the ocean dotted with boats

Jennycliff Beach is one of my favorite spots near Plymouth. Its combination of sandy and shingle beach with dramatic cliffs creates a peaceful and picturesque setting. The view of Plymouth Sound and the breakwater, especially at sunset, is stunning and perfect for photography. The South West Coast Path offers leisurely walks with fresh sea breezes and soothing waves. Jennycliff Café, with its friendly staff and tasty refreshments, is an ideal place to relax. This beach is a serene escape where I can truly unwind and appreciate Devon's beauty. Highly recommended for a peaceful and scenic getaway.

Beautiful place, fresh sea air though you can’t go to the beach as the steps are crumbling. Still a gorgeous place to visit with breathtaking views.

Very mind relaxing place, evening view is just awesome 🥰

Absolutely STUNNING little beach. Its more pebbles than sand, but the water is crystal clear. The little cove is located down a relatively steep path. Definitely not wheelchair accessible. People thought I wasn't in England from my photos!!

Bluebell heaven. Lovely walk quiet and tranquil

Well kept woodland with walking trails and bike trails, it's a great location for a hot summers day to go swimming.

There are fishing spots further up the river that require fishing a permit but they display QR code you can scan to take you to a website where you can purchase them.

Most of the land on the other side of the river is private property further north you go

This is my go to walk. Absolutely perfect and my favourite place to be in all of Plymouth. I've been coming here for years and find new areas to walk all the time. I feel the woods keeps giving back and is great for any type of walker. You could go for a 20 minutes walk or a 3 hour walk, it's absolutely massive. Only thing that lets it down is bad dog owners, the amount of dog muck and stupid dogs getting in your space does let it down but you can avoid the main dog walking areas.

Jennycliff Beach offers a serene escape with stunning coastal views. Its sandy shores and calm waters make it perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. Ideal for families and solo travelers alike, it's a must-visit destination for beach enthusiasts.

A great place, a little difficult after the rain but always fun getting muddy. Can go as far as you'd like.

Absolutely beautiful stunning place to visit

Great place,surrounded by nature.Lovely for walking,running,walk with dogs and of course cycling.Also got river so good maybe not for swimming but to cool down..

A lovely little walk but make sure it hasn’t been raining a lot when you go 😂

Always 5 stars because its such a beautiful scenic route. Lots of wildlife. Plym Valley is a wonderful place for taking a dip. Enjoy it whilst the weather is hot, enjoy a Bbq and a crate of beer. Just have a bit of respect and take your rubbish home with you.

Beautiful scenery

A great little beach which has sadly been neglected and despite signage is still technically accessible, as such the danger is not clear, the path is ‘closed’ but accessible, the beach a appears to be open. The position of the beach often means is littered by debris from the sea. Sizeable nearby free public car park with free public toilets (be warned) and on occasion, though not this time the odd ice cream . There is a cafe which I have never frequented. If you like a walk it’s right on the south west coast path. I hope the the path is properly fixed and the beach made secure and truly accessible once more!

shout-out to the cave throne

About 3.6km to Plymbridge Woods national trust car park.

Great as always
