No trip to this corner of South Devon is complete without a stroll around Dartmouth.

We returned to the Park & Ride that we used last time we were down this way, for a fiver and a bus trip it makes access to the town easy. Sunny day + open top bus ride = Happy campers.

We dispensed with tradition and sat on the French style terrace outside The Embankment on the quayside to enjoy refreshments accompanied by the stereotypical accordion music – that is until the playlist was interrupted by some unexpected death metal. The little monsieur behind the bar was quite sheepish. We were amused.

19 quidsworth of pasties from Duke Street were satisfactory. We ate them in the park whilst being serenaded by a frankly cheesy crooner. 3 small children sat on the floor in front of his setup, and a seagull promptly stole their dinner. Hilarious 😂

Water taxi down to the castle. Tenner there and tenner back again, but very scenic and relaxing. Ice creams were required to fortify us, £16.

No smiles here from KB. Took a Dutch family on the return leg to coax a grin out of him on camera 😆

We took the path down to Sugary Cove for a scuft about in the sand. The paths and steps have clearly had to be re-routed due to bad weather causing erosion. The little platform where we previously enjoyed a picnic with R&K is now only accessible at low tide from the water by climbing up ⚠️

We made a very clumsy attempt to get in to the Sainsburys near the park and ride to buy supplies for a BBQ to enjoy on our last night before heading across the border to Cornwall…
