Mothercombe to St Peter the Poor Fisherman's Church


Mothercombe car park to St Peter the Poor Fisherman's Church at Revelstoke Beach, just east of Noss Mayo. Only 9 miles walking but there was a considerable amount of up hill and down dale on the coast path. At 0900hrs the pheasants we saw numbered 60+ easily throughout the walk. Fantastic weather for November. At sea all was flat calm. Perfect for canoeing and it would have been considerably less strenuous than walking!!

The Church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman at Revelstoke Beach, East of Newton Ferrers. Dates from Saxon times in 1226. It is a Grade 1 listed building but now a 'redundant' church and as such is administered by the Churches Conservation Trust. Of great historical/architectural interest.

A fantastic historical feel to the church. Visit it.
