planning ahead for our walking trip


We start in Barnstaple, Devon, and end up in Newquay, Cornwall walking along the Southwest Coast National Trail, a walking distance of over 100 miles. Each night we stay in either a B&B or a small hotel near the trail.
... we'll be looking for the production crew of the Doc Martin British TV series filming somewhere along the Cornwall Coast, and enjoying the tiny hamlets and open spaces that we find along the way....

The photo shown here is from a previous walking trip on the Cotswold Way. Many shady path sections like this are covered with wild garlic, which was first brought to Britain by the Romans more than 2000 years ago.
