Paignton harbour to Preston Sands 

This Healthy Selfie Geopark Journey is an accessible trail around Paignton’s seafront, which aims to encourage people to step into the fresh air and discover some extraordinary facts along the way. The routes are wide with flat walkways and avoid areas that tend to get overly busy or loud.

Leaflets can be picked up from the English Riviera Visitor Information Centre, Vaughan Parade, Torquay TQ2 5JG. Alternatively, download the trails here: https://healthy-selfie.co.uk/walks/#geopark-journeys
