Welcome to your
Totnes Pub Walk

Winding through the vibrant heart of Totnes and its quieter backstreets, this walk takes in everything from riverside views and historic coaching inns to quirky taprooms and local breweries. Start at the iconic Royal Seven Stars and finish in an industrial estate with a pint brewed just metres away.

Expect a little bit of everything—great beer, laid-back charm, and a proper taste of Totnes character. Rail and bus links make getting here easy, and the route is compact enough to enjoy at a relaxed pace with plenty of stops for pints and conversation.
