Hope Cove to Salcombe Walk Leaving the village of Hope Cove in the opposite direction offers a longer coastal journey of 7 ½ miles to Salcombe. Starting in Inner Hope, the path wends its way to the top of Bolt Tail providing impressive views all the way to Cornwall in the east (on a clear day). The path continues onwards to Bolberry Down which, during the Second World War, was used as a Royal Air Force base. The old concrete buildings can still be seen near the disused runway. The path then brings you down into Soar Mill Cove, a small sandy beach suitable for bathing. A steep path then leads you up to splendid views to the west towards Bolt Head. As you head towards Bolt Head keep an eye out for Grey Seals basking on the rocks below. As you round Bolt Head, Devon's most southerly point, Prawle Point, can be seen in the distance before you descend into the valley behind Starehole Bay. The path then joins Courtenay Way that marks the final part of your journey into Salcombe. As the coastal path finishes you pass Overbecks, a National Trust museum with impressive gardens containing many tropical plants. For those feeling the strain of the miles already walked, the South Sands Ferry is waiting to complete your trip into Salcombe town. Otherwise, the road winds its way around the edge of the Kingsbridge estuary for approximately 2 miles to take you into the town where a bus or taxi can return you to Hope Cove via Malborough in about 20 minutes. .

The Early Settlement of Hope Cove and Bolt Tail and the Part Played by Quay Sands
The Early Settlement of Hope Cove and Bolt Tail and the part played by Quay Sands A brief discussion. Introduction This short paper in no way seeks to offer a definitive account of settlement but by referring to the evidence in the landscape wishes to offer a point of view for discussion. Challenges to any assumptions are most welcome. What I have called Quay Sands may be called Pilchard Cove by some and indeed appears as such on modern maps. The central valley area of Bolt Tail runs from Redrot Cove in the south to Quay Sands in the north. The Courtney Map of 1841 calls Redrot Cove “Reed Rot” and the area between the two coves is named Reed Rot Bottom. In these notes I will refer to it as Redrot Bottom. It should be noted that the same map labels Quay Sands “Pilchard Cove”. No doubt this refers to its use during the days of the pilchard bonanza but a sketch map drawn in 1823 for a proposed new breakwater calls it Pilchard Quay. Figure 1 Early human activity on Bolt Tail and Inner Hope Figure 2 Overview Figure 3 Fortified area. Frances Griffiths, Devon County Archaeology Discussion There are a number of sixteenth century buildings in the twin villages of Inner and Outer Hope but nothing much to show for earlier habitation apart from an early mention in the Assize Rolls for 1281. The Iron Age Fort on Bolt Tail has had two comprehensive but non-invasive surveys in the last twenty years. It is considered to be of Iron Age date but Waterhouse hints that by comparing it with similar forts it may have its beginnings in the stone age.

South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.

The raised cannon from the Erme Estuary Site on display in Hope Cove Prepared for Historic England January 2018 Document Control Grid Title Erme Estuary Site Conservation Statement & Management Plan. Author Tom Cousins Derivation Original Date Reviser David Parham Date of Last Revision 17 December 2018 Version 0.1 Status Draft Summary of Changes Circulation Required Action File Name/location Approval Executive Summary The Erme Estuary site is a scatter of iron guns and artefacts possibly ranging from the 16th to the 18th century. The wreck was discovered in January 1990 by Steven George and it was subsequently investigated by the South West Maritime Archaeology Group (SWMAG) who surveyed the site and published their findings in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology (Oldham, et al., 1993) this work lead to the sites designation in 1991.

The principle aim of this plan is to identify a shared vison of how the values and features of the Erme Estuary can be conserved, maintained and enhanced.
