Beesands to Hallsands
Discover the haunting remains of the lost village of Hallsands
An atmospheric and poignant walk along the South West Coast Path.
Journey from the quaint fishing village of Beesands to the tragic remains of Hallsands. Walk alongside the southern coast through farmland brimming with insects, including the very rare Penny Royal (Mentha pulegium), gulls and kestrels.
Enjoy magnificent coastal views of rock formations and local coves looking out towards Start Point before arriving at the ghostly ruins of Hallsands village. Once a bustling community, the village was washed away by storms in 1917 following the removal of the nearby beach. Now only a few ruined houses mark this haunting site.
The path then leads on to Start Point Lighthouse.
