Route Details

Berry Head To Sharkham Point

105 views
0 comments
This moderately easy section of the South West Coast Path takes in spectacular views. It has gentle ascents and descents which make for relatively easy walking. The route between Berry Head and Sharkham Point was originally the way along which the coastguards regularly patrolled. Thus earning the name the Coastguard Walk.

Starting at the car park with the fort to the left, follow the road which eventually branches off, leading out of the park. The route rises gradually around the back end of the bay and then leads to a short bridge which continues and will bring you to the entrance of Sharkham Point.

Once you have explored the area, you can either head back or continue the circular route, which takes you through Brixham and back up to the starting point.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
