Came up here for a few hours with the dog. Easy parking, well maintained footpaths and information boards. Panoramic views, dramatic cliffs and on our day bright blue sea, clear to an horizon, many miles away. Many well preserved battlements, a few cannon. Well defined moats and some appropriate modern foot bridges across them. Lots of protective fencing to keep dogs and children from falling from the near sheer cliff edges. At worst, very gentle inclines on a few paths.

Only take 10 minutes drive form campsite we found this little gem, this Cove was beautiful and the water was crystal clear, my family really enjoyed being here. According to Wiki that Agatha Christie wrote one of the scenes from this Cove (ABC Murders). Anyway worth visit while you are in the area.

Love Brixham Harbour, a classic English working Harbour surrounded with great pubs and restaurants. You can walk around either side and on discover more beautiful and amazing little beaches with lovely food huts etc. Walk the 1/2 mile breakwater, visit Shoalstone seawater pool, carry on to Berry Head or around past the Fishing boats Quay to Battery Gardens and Fishcombe cove. So much so close!

This stunning headland, with its iconic lighthouse and Napoleonic Fort, is surrounded by water on three sides and offers exceptional views across Torbay and beyond. You can enjoy some superb coastal walks, spot wildlife on land and at sea, or simply relax in the award-winning Guardhouse Café. Our Visitor Centre will tell you all about the Reserve, its history, wildlife and the work of Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust. Do check for opening times during off peak season. This is a must-visit day out and is either a pleasant walk from up from Brixham or short drive to the visitor car park. Dogs are very welcome throughout the site; leads are required in certain areas. Disability access is good with tarmac or laid paths into both the North and South Forts.
What a beautiful place.We were lucky to have glorious sunshine to explore the interesting history and take in the delightful views out to sea and across to Torquay in all its glory.We enjoyed coffee and then a delicious lunch in the pretty,friendly,efficient Guardhouse cafe.The family took the lovely walk up through the woods,but I,with a damaged knee,was very grateful for the easy walk up the path from the well maintained car park.Berry Head had been highly recommended by 2different sets of friends &certainly lived up to their praises.A superb day.

Fantastic little beach with attractive shop/cafe, rocks to climb on one side, breakwater to walk down the other with views over Brixham harbour. Great place to spend the early evening, especially if you like skimming stones, as the small flat pebbles are made for it.

If you can handle the climbs and descents to get to this little treasure of a spot it is well worth it. It would make a great place to go snorkelling, sadly the weather was not on our side when we were there. Crystal clear waters, and wildlife in the shape of various sea birds and seals can be spotted.
