In between Brixham and Kingswear as you go along the South Coast Path is a 25m high tower called The Daymark<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built in 1864 as a landmark for shipping, it sits in the middle of a farmers field, but is (of course!) visible from miles around, especially if you get the ferry from Brixham to Dartmouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This New Year’s we made a trip to see it a little closer up – not by walking the 8 miles from Brixham on the Coastal Path but by driving to the car park at Brownstone<\/a> (just follow the signs for Coleton Fishacre National Trust property from the Brixham-Kingswear road).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Daymark<\/a> is quite a thing once you get close up, as you can see here – but walk a little further and you get to the Brownstone Battery and Coastal watch position, and some stunning coastal views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are also by this point rather close to Kingswear and Dartmouth, which is where we went for a really nice pub lunch at the Steam Packet pub<\/a> as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definately a nice little trip out to consider adding to the list of things to do in and around Brixham<\/a> during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
