NORTH DEVON -September 2010

I went with Dana to North Devon on a 4 day holiday in September 2010.

A place i'd not really visited much in the past , other than a day trip years ago.

This Holiday we stayed at a very nice "Vegetarian B&B" called "Fern Tor", which is near South Molton. We can recommend it highly as it caters for Vegetarians and Vegan diets, which suits us very well. Each day we had a different choice on the Menu. All home made food too.

The B&B also had acres of land for their animals, all safe from harm. Goats, Pigs , Hens & Rabbits were all there and were family pets.

Places we visited those few days, included Ilfracombe , which was the wettest day of that week.

So we couldn't see too much, so we visited Chambercombe Manor , nearby, a reputedly very Haunted house!......though we did'nt see anything it was very interesting and we had a guided tour. We also visited a House near Exmoor which had featured "years ago" on an Ealing Film from the 1940's called "The Halfway House".....a Favourite Film of mine! I'd seen it was now lived in privately, so I asked the owners If I could view it for nostalgic reasons. They kindly allowed me to do so and I took photos there (One above) . It had altered a bit naturally, but you could still tell it was that actual house. We also went to Clovelly an Interesting village built in a cliff, which has a very steep set of steps to decend down. So it required careful walking. The beach below was cobbled, but still very scenic as was Clovelly itself.

Then we went onto Hartland Bay which has an Interesting coastline, very rocky.

Of course we had to visit Exmoor itself and see the wildlife there and the fantastic views.

The hills were all shades of green and gorse was colourful too. You could see for miles in the distance. The Weather Improved a bit throughout the week.

Certainly an area we'd enjoy visiting again sometime.

After North Devon we then went onto South Devon, to visit my Sister In Torquay.
