Somerset break

Dulverton, Tarr Steps, Dunkery Beacon, Porlock Weir, Lynton, Lynmouth.....Walks through ancient Sessile oak woods, beside fast running streams and rivers coloured rich brown by the peat. Pasties and pints in the sun at Porlock Weir on the harbour wall with a break in the cloud. Water powered funiculars, ice creams, pubs and dogs and more walks and more pubs, a visitation by the ma in law with her very new puppy and home made wild garlic and nettle soup. Dinner on the final night at the peerless Woods with several nightcaps courtesy of the ebullient and kind hearted Paddy. Four days of wonderful North Somerset adventures, mostly the pictures tell a better story.
