Today's adventure started with a stop off at Slapton Sands for a stroll on the beach in the sunshine.
Then a drive by Blackpool Sands, through the picturesque village of Stoke Fleming and a visit to Dartmouth Castle.
After a good look around inside and a quick ice cream stop at the cafe we moved on to the beautiful Dartmouth for a nice long stop off to look around the harbour and the shops. Finished off with some successful crabbing.
A quick trip on the car ferry we returned via Paignton and back to rainy Tiverton.
Great day in lovely weather. 🌞🚗
