The mild, dry weather drew us out of our cosy cottage yesterday and out towards Lynton way to trek a wee part of the dramatic Devonshire coastal path. We parked up at Woodybay to begin the short but sweet walk, through woodland, along cliffedge paths to the beautiful Heddons Mouth. It seemed that the previous fall of snow had fed the flora that clung to the cliff edge, it looked like Jurrasic Park, even the fallen logs had been junglfied! We stopped at one of the view points to perch on a rock and observe Gods creation. Cup of tea in hand and a digestive biscuit to dunk, simple pleasures are the most satisfying. The family dog, Billy the Welsh Border Collie, accompanied us on our lazy stroll, running back and forth playing fetch and providing us with entertainment. We were trying to think where else we would be able to trek along endless cliff top coastal paths, that provided such magnificent views. Apart from the odd place in Cornwall, we were stumped! This trip has inspired us to explore more of the coast with which we've been blessed. It's so exciting finding new places, many of our friends have walked the whole length of the N.Devon stretch and it's high time we did. Walking has so many benefits, it's healthy, fun, adventurous not to mention its free! Keep checking back to see our next adventures.www.visitdevon.co.uk
Fortunately the day I proposed to my wife is around Valentines Day, so we always try and do a little something special. A few years ago we stayed in the area at some very luxury Devon Accommodation to mark the occasion, so it is a fantastic idea and shouldn't just be considered for the Spring and Summer bookings.
