I’ve finally plotted all the sites I found around Start Point area in South Devon on Google Maps. My favourites are Maelcombe House, South Allington House and Sugar Park, although not necessarily in that order and the Sugar Park site looked even better the second time I went past it as there was less...

Before I forget about our recent trip to Devon, I need to point out that there are a number of things to do in the South Hams district with kids on a rainy day. There’s the South Devon and Dart Valley Steam Railways, or if you’re near to Kingsbridge you could go and see...

I’ve started to add the sites I’ve been discovering near here in Hallsands Devon to a Camping Out There map I’ve set up on Google Maps. I saw similar maps on the Cath and Math Go Camping blog and the new Cool Camping site, and although I’ve only a handful of entries I do...

I noticed a family walking past us in the rain just now here in Hallsands, and so invited them in for a cup of tea. They were on their way to Start Point, and turns out that they were from Holland and were owners of a De Waard tent. They’re staying at the Seaview...

I’m not sure if the fishing ponds I found above Hallsands Beach are part of Bickerton Farm Fishery or not, but I eventually found out that it’s Graham at Bickerton Farm you need to call on 01548 511220 to purchase your ticket so that you can fish there. You’ll also need to ask what’s...
