Pudcombe Cove

Highlight • Natural

Low tide uncovers a tidal swimming pool at Pudcombe Cove, once part of the Coleton Fishacre estate. A concrete pier, bathing hut and terrace also survive. It was built in the late 1920s but it is no longer accessible as erosion has worn away the steep path down to the cove.

Coleton Fishacre Garden Entrance

Highlight • Natural Monument

Coleton Fishacre is a 1920s property that includes a Arts and Crafts Movement house and 10 acres of gardens. It is located by the sea near Kingswear in the county of Devon, England. The property has been owned by the National Trust since 1982, which opened the garden to the public. The house was opened to visitors in 1999.
The garden of the property lies sloping between the house and the sea by a stream and ends at Pudcombe Cove. The garden was created by Lady Dorothy and today offers rare and exotic plants that can grow due to the mild Gulf Stream on this part of the Devon coast.

Froward Point Battery and Lookout Station

Highlight • Monument

The Brownstone Battery at Froward Point was built in 1940 and housed two ex-navy 6" guns. The bases of which you can still explore. The terrain here is very steep and therefore the magazine where the shells where kept was higher than the guns and an incline plane with railway tracks was used to transport the ammunition to the guns. This along with the ammunition stores and living quarters are still visible although most are gated. Further down the hill are the old searchlight houses and look out points.
At the top of the hill is the still functioning coastguard lookout station.
