Snapes Point Trail Description
The Snapes Point Walk is a popular trail in the Salcombe area, as it produces some lovely views along the Devon coast without exposing you to any challenging or technical terrain. Setting out from the car park, you will make your way to the northwest along the edge of Batson Creek, keeping right along the edge of the water to climb slightly uphill. After traversing Snapes Point and taking in the stunning views over Salcombe and the harbour, you will continue around the loop and climb further uphill to the northwest before descending into Lower Batson village on the return to the trailhead.
