Woolacombe to Braunton

Because of where our accommodation was, we decided to go off the Coast Path about two-thirds along the way which reduced our walk by nearly 6 miles. Not only did this make our walk easier, but it also meant we ended up with more time at our B & B, Silver Cottage, which is by far the best we have stayed at. We have our own room (!) plus a lovely kitchen/living room AND a lovely outside eating area.

Our host, Sophie, is delightful and, on our arrival, made us a pot of tea accompanied by scones, jam and cream. We had a 10 minute walk in to the high street where we bought wine, ready-to-eat meals, wine, cheese and crackers from the COOP and enjoyed eating in - as seems our wont!

Whilst having our dinner, we could hear the bells ringing so Tuesday is practice night in Braunton. Note to John: Claire is keen to become a bell ringer!

I still cannot get over how beautiful some of the beaches in England are - they even have proper sand!Read more
