Five have fun in North Devon

Just back from a bit of a mini break up to Croyde and Woolacombe in North Devon. Our second outing in the caravan, and only three nights, but a lot of fun. We were lucky with the weather, pretty much blue skies most of the time we were out and about.

We kicked off with a visit to Woolacombe beach – as you can see it went down a storm with our terriers, who seem to turn into lunatics as soon as their feet hit the sand.

It was a blustery day. Lots of surfers making use of the waves, but the dogs, being low to the ground, had quite a lot of blown sand to contend with. Still, they didn’t seem to mind.

We had a couple of visits to the lovely beach cafe on Barricane Beach (not sure why they disagree with my spelling!). Ate one of their famous curries, and the next day returned for a cream tea. The gluttony!

I tried my hand at a bit of beach sculpture while we waited for the curry to be served.

Next day we went for a walk in Mortehoe, and saw lots of these. Stan and Cyril were definitely on leads, but Ms Perkins’s days of chasing anything are long past.

Enjoyed a stunning walk round to Morte Point. You can just see Lundy on the horizon.

Met a few people on the South West Coast Path, all hoping to spot the seals that inhabit the inlets. Sadly we didn’t see any, but the views more than made up for it.

Amazing views north towards Ifracombe.

We rounded off the trip with a walk through the dunes and along Saunton Sands. Followed by another cream tea at the fabulous Sandleigh Tea Rooms at Baggy Point – well, we were on holiday! – before the two-hour drive back to the south Devon coast.
