Corenno Plinio and Dervio – Touring the towns of Lake Como

Corenno Plinio harbour

We’ve crossed the water to the Eastern-side of Lake Como (well, actually we drove around the north of the lake) for an explore of the towns Dervio, the castle town of Corenno Plinio and the peninsula of Piona and its… Continue Reading…


Colonno to Sala Comacina – Touring the towns of Lake Como

Sala Comacina

We’re still working our way down the west of Lake Como and on this side our last explore was of Lenno and the beautiful Villa Balbianello.  Moving south takes us to Ossuccio, Sala Comacina and Colonno.  It’s possible to travel… Continue Reading…


Portwrinkle to Looe – South West Coast Path walks

Lighthouse at Looe

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 – South West Coast Path walks

Woolacombe to Lee Bay

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…


Saunton to Putsborough – South West Coast Path Walks

Putsborough Sand

To get from Saunton to Putsborough, IMHO, is definitely a two-walk strategy.  If I’m being honest though, the main reason for two walks was actually food related.  We were given an excellent Sunday roast recommendation at the King’s Arms in… Continue Reading…


Barnstaple to Braunton – South West Coast Path walks

Starting from Barnstaple once again, but this time we’re heading West and North.  And again we’re starting out walking along the River Taw toward the estuary.  I’m not going to lie, this is about 7km of very flat pavement pounding… Continue Reading…


Westward Ho! to Barnstaple – South West Coast Path Walks

SWCP and Tarka trail to Barnstaple

We’ve just had a lovely 10 days in Barnstaple, which is on the Northern shores of Devon.  It’s a good 2 hours from our usual South Devon coast in Kingswear.  This is us spreading out further afield to take in… Continue Reading…


Whitsand Bay – South West Coast Path walks

Whitsand Bay

Whitsand Bay runs from Rame Head to Portwrinkle in Cornwall.  We had a gloriously sunny day in February to enjoy this section of the South West Coast Path and with two pups in tow, there was plenty of energy to… Continue Reading…


Rame Head circular – South West Coast Path walks

Rame Head in Cornwall

Back in Kingsand and we are now properly in Cornwall.  The section of the Coast path from Kingsand and around Rame Head is a particularly spectacular one.  Although it covers 6 miles of coast path the return leg across land… Continue Reading…
