Wikipedia says "Hope's Nose is a coastal headland, separating Tor Bay from Babbacombe Bay. It is visible from much of the town and harbour of Torquay, Devon. It has been a Site of Special Scientific Interest along with the nearby Wall's Hill since 1986." We say "Definitely one of our favourite walks, this is a circular walk, of only about 2km. But it's quite steep in places. The last time we were there we saw a kestrel hovering over the gorse at the side of the cliff. You don't have to climb down the rocks if you don't want to, you can stay on the headland and admire the view. However, I'm sure you will be tempted!

A footpath takes you down to the end of Hope's Nose and although it is a bit of a trek back up it is worth it. Just beyond Hope' Nose lies The Orestone near which a ship was moored containing the captive Napoleon Bonaparte; he became one of Torquay's first major tourist attractions. Hope's Nose is also home to gold deposits although they were considered too small for commercial extraction.... and the area is home to pygmy goats who help to keep the vegetation in check.
