Yesterday we arrived at Hope Cove House hotel at Inner Hope around 7pm. Dinner was oysters, scallops, soup and a large brill to share.
Today we walked along the coast path a bit. We watched two seals bobbing in the bay and saw ravens mobbed by lesser corvids off the cliffs above us. We turned inland along tracks and lanes and fields to Bantham.
We took a diversion round South Milton Ley nature reserve. Heard a Cetti’s warbler.
We had lunch (soup, mussels) at the Sloop Inn.
Then we went down to the boat house.
We walked along to the end of the estuary.
Then across the dunes and back along the coast path to Hope Cove.
We stopped for a cuppa at the Beach House cafe at South Milton.
It was a bit damp and blustery now. We had good views of a kestrel hovering in an updraft at the top of a cliff.
