Tranquility In The Height Of Summer

The remarkable answer is "YES".

Take for example the walk we did last week.  We parked at the National Trust Brownstone Farm Car park. This is just around the corner from The National Trust Coleton Fishacre Property. The car park was far from busy and parking was easy.

We took a leisurely walk along the road laid by the military in WW II with stunning views along the way such as that in the picture above.

Midway along the walk, the strange and otherwordly "Daymark" comes into view. This strange structure sits in a corn field like an alien visitor.

The prosaic reality is that it is a navigation aid for ships out at sea. 

Exploring the Battery had involved quite a few steep steps and pathways but even then the description of the walk as "moderate" by a variety of apps and sites seemed about right.

But then the walk from the Battery to Pudcombe Cove (and from there back to the car park) became markedly more challenging especially with two elderly dachsunds in tow. Even so, the coastal scenery was stunning.

And as for the tranquility? We only encountered a couple of other walkers on the whole three mile walk.
