UK Tourist & Leisure Attractions

Arrggh!  An ancient sea monster has just emerged from the sea at Hope Cove!  Belinda had a swim too, and in the evening we had a lovely locally caught fish meal in the pub there.
 

On Day 5 in Devon we went to visit Bigbury and Burgh Island, which we walked across to at low tide.  At high tide a sea tractor takes people back and forth - or you can wade.

Mike writing postcards at 'The Pilchard Inn' on Burgh Island where we spent a few hours (and had a few drinks) watching the tide come in.  It's just about passable still, in the background.

In true Famous Five style, we went to 'explore the island' and walked up to see the old ruins at the top.  Here's Mike videoing with Bigbury and the Devon mainland in the background.
 

Belinda looking towards the mainland from the old ruin on top of Burgh Island.  Yes, it was another hot and sunny Devon day.

We took the sea tractor back to Bigbury and spent the rest of the day lazing around on the beach and rocks.  It's a hard life!
 

There were two pubs in Modbury, our holiday base, and we ate in both of them.  This is our meal in 'The Modbury Arms', which was excellent.
 

On our last day in Devon (which was yet another hot one) we walked round Bantham and its vast sandy beach at low tide.

No, Mike isn't having a p***, he's admiring the view along the River Avon.  After this we visited the local pub for a drink, then went in search of a nice spot for a picnic along the coast path.

Walking up from Bantham, we headed towards Thurlestone and joined up with the end of the walk we did earlier in the week.  That's Burgh Island and Bigbury in the background.
 

Yes Mike, you're trying to fly over the water again.  Yawn!  Why not try another trick for a change?

Belinda's so keen to have her picture taken she didn't notice that big splashee wave coming up behind!
 

Mike thinks he's a little boy again as he builds a wall on Bantham beach to keep the sea out,  When it didn't work, Belinda jumped up and left Mike to drown!  We have some Devon holiday video clips available to check out.

Yes Belinda, very funny, you've buried Mike in the sand, just as he was buried here at Bantham 31 years ago by his sister!  We certainly had an enjoyable week in the hot Devon sunshine, you may like to check out our links page for many Devon related (and other) UK tourist websites.
