About
Starting from the picturesque village of Maidencombe, on the northern edge of the Geopark, this 3 mile circular walk takes in the true splendour of the English Riviera, with spectacular panoramic coastal and woodland views.
Throughout the tour guests will hear stories and myths of this area recounted by Ziggy who has lived all his life in the village, which has a rich smuggling history and haunted heritage.
The gruesome past will be blended with war tales and more recent shocking stories as you make your way around the rugged coastline. Listen to the mysteries of the unknown grave digger; the missing German pilot who crashed at Maidencombe during World War 2 and giant octopus!
The tour ends on Maidencombe beach where guests will have the privilege of joining the Out Of Tuna’s – a madcap group of locals, who sing shanties about smugglers, fishermen and fair maidens – group participation will be encouraged! This will be a truly memorable experience as the sun sets on the English Riviera Global Geopark!
Walk duration: 1.5 hours
