Devonport Leat

 We parked the car in Burrator Quarry car park and walked up the hill to the old railway line.  There are magnificent views over Burrator from this track.




We followed this flat path until we reached Devonport Leat.  We then followed the leat, diverting into woods at one point and crossing a road as it ran underneath it.  Initially the water in was smoothly flowing down the leat, but later if was going so fast there was ripples like waves flowing down. 





After 45 minutes we turned around and made our way back the same way, admiring the views again on the way back.

Salcombe

 One of our favourite places.  So beautiful!  We catch the train to Totnes then bus to Salcombe.  From the bus stop we walk along the river out to the sea at North Sands, then back to have lunch in the park overlooking the ferry to East Portlemouth.
