Portwrinkle to Looe is the last Cornish section before we start making overnight stays.  The drive is getting too long from our base in Kingswear for just a day-trip, so we must travel.  However, from my point of view, it’s… Continue Reading…

Woolacombe to Ilfracombe is the last section of coast path we hiked during our stay in Barnstaple.  As we often do, we broke this section down into two separate walks, and as I often say…why rush these things. The first… Continue Reading…
