Castle Drogo and the River Teign

Our friends Gillian and Michael were travelling from Tiverton to Boscastle on holiday and we suggested we met up at Castle Drogo.  We spent a pleasant morning looking around the gardens and then exploring the Castle.  The gardens were as attractive as last time (May 2011) and I particularly liked Bunty's house with its front garden full of summer flowers and vegetables.


After Gillian and Michael went on their way we decided to drive down to Fingles Bridge and walk along the river.  We walked for abut 45 minutes but did not reach the next bridge down.  It was a very pleasant walk along a good path and lovely to hear the water rushing down the river all the way.

Having got back to Fingles Bridge we could not resist stopping at the pub for a cream tea which we ate by the side of the river!

    Interesting to compare photos with those taken when we visited in May 2011. This time much more water coming down the river at Fingles Bridge, making the water white in places.
    Also the garden in front of Bunty's house has changed from a spring garden to a summer one.
