Coastal Reach Lodge
Brixham, Devon
THE LODGE
The Lodge has a spacious, open plan kitchen, living room and dining area. There are 3 good size bedrooms sleeping 6 people. A travel cot and highchair is also available if required. There is a bathroom and an ensuite and large decking area.
The lodge is situated just 100 metres from the Clubhouse and its amenities and 150 metres from the shop stocking a range of essentials. It is also just 250 metres from the South West Coast path, the UK’s longest national trail.
A left out of the gate onto the coast path will lead you to Berry Head nature reserve and award winning Guardhouse café, a pleasant spot for viewing the UK’s southern most Guillemot colony and also often spotted off the head by the lighthouse are a range of cetaceans including Dolphins and Porpoises as well as a range of seabirds including the incredible Gannet.
Continuing down the path in this direction will get you into Brixham after approx 3km.
THE BEACH
A right through the park gate onto the Coast Path for the more intrepid explorer will take you firstly through Sharkham nature reserve and on a good day a great place to spot the local Peregrine Falcons, from here you continue in about 1km to St Mary’s Bay (Mudstone) which has approx 500 m of sand, shingle and rock.
THE GOOD LIFE
Further on from here the serious walker will eventually find Kingswear after about 9km, taking in stunning Coves and waterfalls and a host of places to view the diverse vegetation, avian species and cetaceans.
This becomes very rugged and often undulating so should only be attempted by the serious walker with correct footwear and wet/cold weather gear.
