Bumble and the family holiday to North Devon

Day Three.

After quite a good rain storm over night to the extent of waking us up with the rain hammering on the caravan roof, the next day we decided to retrace our steps from a years ago visit to Lynmouth and a brief stop at Lynton.

She loves her sea views.

Once again we left Bumble with a sea view and took a trip down memory lane. The last time we came here it had been a very grey and damp day. This time, as you can see, it was the complete opposite.

You've seen one beach you've seen them all!

Lynmouth.

We took a trip up the hillside to Lynton on the cliff railway, which is a water powered funicular railway. It is a return to a time long ago. A time where engineering came to the fore. The sounds and smells of another century.

Whilst waiting for the queue to lesson for the return journey down the cliff, we made use of the cafe for a much needed pot of tea. The flower displays outside of the cafe were beautiful. The photos do not do it justice although the bees were enjoying a feed. The little bakery where we last had a pasty from has changed into a fully-fledged restaurant and chippy but we did find the alcove where we shared the pasties in the rain.

  We made our way back to Bumble who was admiring the views

On the road out of Lynmouth

There are some very steep hills.

We decided to head towards Woolacombe where the dogs could explore a bigger beach, maybe have a paddle with hopefully fewer people. 

Woolacombe. Dog friendly beach.

They both enjoyed it judging from the barking and the tail wagging. Poppy was the bravest of the two as she went in the water. Crowley was the cleverer as he kept out and stayed dry! To finish off the day it was fish and chips for tea and back to the caravan.
