Topsham

there was a nip in the air first thing it was a perfect day to get out exploring.  We took the train to Exeter  and then changed to the train to Exmouth and went as far as Topsham.

To begin with we walked inland to Dartsfarm that is on the outskirts of Topsham and just a 15 minute walk from the station.   It was good to see all the variety of specialist foods and home products but we did not buy anything except our lunch of fish and chips.  A sparrow kept us company at the next table.

After lunch we followed the cycle path to Exon.  It was a lovely walk in the country, but we only occasionally got glimpses of the river.  At Exton a train was due so we caught it back to Topsham.  The railway platform at Exton must have one of the best views in the country.

Back in Topsham we wandered down the main street looking at all the independent shops and cafes.  Eventually we came to the quay and then we walked on to Goat Walk, where the land comes to an end.  We then walked back along the estuary until we were back at the top of the town and the railway station.  From here is was back home on the train with a change at Exeter
