Hi there everyone 😀
We spent the second full day of our week in Bude with a really good wander on the coast.
It was an absolutely glorious day. We started off at Crooklets Beach, where we parked mum up on a bench on the prom before heading onto the sand …
… and down to the sea where a paddle was in order for Sarah and I …
From there we headed left … across Middle and Summerleaze beaches …
… towards the breakwater and Barrel Rock …
The tide wasn’t out quite far enough to cross the river to the breakwater without getting wet feet …
… but we all decided it was worth it …
We spent a fair while just mooching about, taking in the views and enjoying the sunshine …
It really is the most beautiful spot and a real favourite.
Sarah, Mark and I were all surprised when Martin said he’d never been up to the Pepperpot and he quite fancied a look. Whilst I’ve been up before I hadn’t been since it had been resited … as it was becoming precariously close to the edge of the cliffs, which were unstable.
We made our way along the breakwater and up the cliff path and in no time at all we were there …
The views in all directions were spectacular … back across the breakwater …
… into town … and across to the sea pool …
We could even see the roof of Mark’s house from up there.
We made our way back along the coast path …
… and past ‘The Pink House’ … to the sea lock and the canal …
We then headed back down onto Summerleaze beach and made our way back … around the sea pool …
… and back to the Crooklets Beach Cafe … where we met back up with mum for some light refreshments to finish off our walk …
Refreshed … we decided to head to Widemouth Bay for a walk out to the point … another favourite spot …
… though the ectoplasm looking spiders’ webs were more than a little bit strange …
Our last stop for the day was to see how David, Alison and Bobby were settling in at the caravan … as they’d arrived earlier in the day …
We all finished the day just around the corner, with a visit to The Old Wainhouse Inn for tea.

What a glorious day and what a gorgeous place Bude is. Even though I live in Devon, I don't think I've ever been there!
ReplyDeleteBude is a real favourite and although we’ve been more times than I can count over the years it’s somewhere we never tire of. It really is lovely and has lots of lovely places close by to visit too x
