Thanks to our good friends we were able to enjoy the beautiful weather over the last few days exploring the Porlock area while staying in their lovely static caravan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our first full day we drove along the North Devon coast road, visiting some of the many beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day we went on the Lynton and Barnstaple narrow gauge railway. It is a very short return trip from Woody Bay but there are big plans to extend the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there we drove to Lynton and took the water powered funicular cliff railway down into Lynmouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Sunday we drove across Exmoor to Exford for a lovely Sunday roast at The White Horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon we visited Greencombe Gardens, home to the largest holly tree in England, situated on the hillside overlooking Porlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a great time and look forward to visiting the area again. It was lovely be on holiday again, enjoying the normal pleasures we used to take for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Jan and Mike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off to Norfolk next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
