·            Festival of Walks: Walking the South Hams is the best way to discover it. South Hams Ramblers invite you to try a walk with them. All walks are led by an experienced leader and are circular ending back at the start point. Walks are free and you can choose any one or even all the festival walks from our programme designed to show you the best of the South Hams. No need to book, just turn up at the meeting point with boots, appropriate clothing and something to drink and eat on the way. See details below:
