9. Leg 3  - SW Coastal Path 9: Barnstaple to Croyde

30 May 2018

For Walk no. 9 we drove to Barnstaple and headed off along the River Taw. This route was largely flat and took us past many abandoned boats in various states of disrepair. At one point it seemed we were herding sheep until a car coming the other way encouraged them to stay put! Some lovely wildflowers along the way, stunning rock formations and a welcome tea and cake once we arrived at Croyde. Here we took the bus back to Barnstaple and headed straight to Mortehoe for a pub meal at 'The Ship Aground'. Sally was delighted that the Bideford Morris Dancers and Ilfracombe Clog Dancers were out for a pub night!
