SW Coastal Path

Literally on your doorstep

Silvermine House is particulary special as it has its own access to the South West Coastal Path on the entrance to the property

The South West Coastal Path is 630 miles long and originally created by coastguards looking for smugglers, along the coastline you will see many coastguard cottages still standing. You can make the coastal path an afternoon stroll and enjoy a cream tea along the way or perhaps a challenge to yourself and walk the many more difficult routes.
