I've just spent a week in North Devon, in a lovely barn conversion in the countryside. I'd never been to this part of Devon before, but I have to say it was better than I expected. Such a pretty and relaxing place.
We were close to a place called Bideford, nice little town, and on our first day we hired bikes and cycled along the Tarka Trail. Well worth it just for the lovely views. And talking of great views, we also stumbled upon Harland Quay and Point. The drive down to the quay is breathtaking, both for the view and the extremely steep road leading down to the sea! We didn't do the whole walk, due to the wet weather, we cut it short and had luch in the hotel there, which was very nice.
As we were so close to the border of Cornwall, we skipped over to Bude, and then found the Tamar Otter Sanctuary on the way back. That was brilliant! We got there at feeding time, and the guide took us around the grounds to meet the otters - so cute! There is also woodland where you can see deer and owls and wombats and all sorts of things, and for 50p, you can purchase a bag of feed. With a bit of patience, you can let the deer eat right from the palm of your hand!
Great holiday. Glad to be back.....??
