Pretty Polperro & Lovely Lyme Regis

Like the Proclaimers, we have reached 500 miles in our travels today. We have taken the leap from Cornwall into West Devon and hit the Jurassic Coast… A UNESCO world heritage part of the United Kingdom. Where people hunt for dinosaur fossils…There is a dinosaur park here, but you won’t see any photos from that 😜

Polperro was a delight to explore, with its narrow winding streets, whitewashed cottages, and peaceful harbour framed by dramatic cliffs. We spent a couple of relaxing hours wandering through the village, browsing the little shops and soaking in the charm of this timeless Cornish fishing village. The highlight was a simple but delicious lunch from the local bakery - enjoyed on a bench overlooking the water, with the sounds of gulls (…less hungry than Port Isaac, much to Marks pleasure) and gentle waves completing the picture.

En-route we had no real plan about where we were going to end up tonight… We drove through Ashburton but were not taken enough to stay & continued on to Lyme Regis which turned out to be a delightful choice! What a beautiful little town with bunting crossing the main street and gorgeous Harbour and true stony beach. Topped off with a last minute bargain AirBnB booked on our way which is such a cute and tidy little home for tonight.Leggi altro
