• Fowey and then Winchester.

    June 25, 2015 in England ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Cleaned up & packed before setting off towards Devon. Today's destination is Winchester.
    Stopped at Fowey (pronounced Foy) for lunch. Fowey is in a beautiful cove at the bottom of hills covered in old cottages and narrow lanes etc. Had cornish rarebit with bacon and salad which was so, so, nice.
    Briefly broused around the shops (Cornwall was the home of Daphne du Maurier) and the lovely harbour. Got the town bus down and back as this place is on a gradient of about 15 degrees!
    Drove on to Winchester. It was a long drive as the traffic was very heavy all the way. Found our B&B and checked in. The house backs onto a golf course, so although in suburbia, the views were good.
    Our host, Chris, suggested a local pub, The Bell Inn, for dinner and said we could walk there through some fields if we didn't want to drive. We did this and thought it was quite a long way. After a lovely meal, we returned by taxi.
