BANKS OFF THE RIVER DART (PART 14) KINGSWEAR CASTLE TO NEWFOUNDLAND COVE, DARTMOUTH UK.

Devon sea rescue team saves three after boat capsizes
The semi-submerged boat was towed back to Dartmouth Three people have been rescued from a Devon estuary suffering from hypothermia after their boat capsized.
The 17ft (5.2m) day boat overturned off Newfoundland Cove, near Dartmouth, at about 1300 BST, the RNLI said.
A Dartmouth Harbour Patrol vessel picked up those on-board and took them to the Royal Dartmouth Yacht Club.
They were treated by two ambulance crews at the yacht club and their conditions are not believed to be life-threatening.
The RNLI inshore lifeboat righted the semi-submerged boat, owned by a man in his 70s who was one of three people rescued, the rescue charity said.
It was then towed back to Dartmouth
There was a dead whale lying in Newfoundland Cove and no matter how pretty the path between classy Kingswear and the paradisiacal pile of Coleton Fishacre, its massive corpse could help but instil an air of melancholy in the otherwise happy passer-by.
Getting there: Car parks on hill above Coleton Fishacre are easy to find by following signs south of B3205.
Recommended map: Ordnance Survey Outdoor Leisure Map 20 is ideal companion.
Distance & Going - four miles - steep in places.
More information: National Trust Dartmouth office tel: 01803 752466.
If the whale hangs around for long enough it will instil something else as well, but when we walked by it was still relatively fresh from the sea and so its blubber had not yet started to decompose.
From the our viewpoint on the path 150 feet above we were saddened to sea this great wild thing looking for all the world like some film-maker's prop, lying motionless on the beach.
But please don't let the decaying carcass of a whale put you off this walk, which really is one of the most perfect perambulations to be found along the south coast.
Park your car in either of the car parks just above Coleton Fishacre, which you'll easily find just south of the road between Brixham and Kingswear.
A lane links the two car parks and if you walk along it to the west - and keep going - it will turns into a narrow path at Higher Brownstone Farm, and this will take you steeply down towards Kingswear. It's one of those paths where the bed-rock shows through to somehow bear witness to the hooves of the centuries, and this rather historic mood is later highlighted by the fortifications which you'll see in the bay far below.
