About

Wembury and Newton Ferrers sit on the south-facing edge of the South Hams. Wembury opens onto a beach and headland crossed by the South West Coast Path; a small marine education centre runs supervised rockpool walks at low tide and the headland is a regular launch point for paddleboards and coastal walkers. Newton Ferrers lines the eastern bank of the River Yealm opposite Noss Mayo, with a tidal quay, boat moorings and narrow lanes that drop to the estuary. Small fishing and leisure boats feed the local economy and a short passenger boat link runs between the two villages at certain tides.

Brixton lies a few miles inland, among farmland and lanes that connect the Yealm valley to the Plymouth suburbs. The village has a parish church and a village hall that hosts markets and events serving the surrounding hamlets. Footpaths and quiet country roads link all three places, so the area is a mix of shoreline and hinterland activity: estuary quays, coastal walks, and managed rockpool visits give a clear sense of how land and sea meet here.
