Route Details
Kingswear To Froward Point
Begin this Devon coastal walk from the Kingswear Marina. From here you can enjoy the glorious views over the town of Dartmouth sitting opposite.
Continue this South West Coast Path walk along the river before reaching Kingswear Castle. Admire the castle and its larger dominating counterpart across the way, Dartmouth Castle, keeping watch over the river mouth.
The route then takes you down to Brownstone Battery, one of the few surviving WWII coastal defence positions. Explore this fascinating modern relic before venturing inland to The Daymark.
This towering structure was built in 1864 as a navigational landmark for mariners. It now provides a dramatic photo op on your South Devon coastal walk!
Stop in at the National Trust’s Coleton Fishacre, before circling back to the coastal path at Kingswear Castle and back to the start.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
