People who enjoy walking in the New Forest and other rambling hotspots across the country may like to check out the Wembury Point trail in southern Devon.

That is the view of Lorna Sherriff, a south Devon coast and countryside ranger who, while speaking to the Daily Telegraph, indicated her belief that the area offers a superb option for fans of walking and history all-year-round.

According to Ms Sherriff, Wembury Point’s "fascinating recent history" is a big attraction for visitors of all ages, as it was used as a naval gunnery school up until 2001 and has since been redeveloped by the National Trust.

"The views here are wonderful too. From Gara Point over to Noss Mayo, the Yealm Estuary, the Mewstone, Plymouth Breakwater and onto Rame Head," she added.

The ranger also advised visitors to bring some binoculars with them in order not to miss out on seeing wildlife such as dolphins on this coastal trail.

Meanwhile, Grough reported last week that people completing the Get Qualified NW Project in various outdoor disciplines could be rewarded with a cash bonus of up to £300.
