About
Anstey’s Cove is a small cove between high cliffs and a thick wooded hillside, managed by the Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust.
Anstey’s Cove is on the coast path between Torquay and Babbacombe and makes a perfect stop-off for walks along the coastal path, leading to Hope’s Nose and offering impressive views across the bay.
