Tuesday 12th January - Fingle Bridge

A longer drive than usual across to Fingle Bridge. A dull day but a bit cooler than it has been.
We took the steep path up through Charles Wood.

The view down the valley of the River Teign. We got almost to the top and then took a recently opened path...

...through Hannicombe Wood

...and followed it gently down all the way back to the river.

A short coffee break by the bridge and then it was back up again to the path which runs just below Castle Drogo.
































At the point where the footpath from Castle Drogo joins a path we were on their was some art on display. The images hanging on the tree in the photograph are those of the Drew family who lived in Castle Drogo.

Along the path to Sharp Tor.....

.... with the spectacular views across the valley.

And, then gently down.....

 

 

...to the pub for lunch. With Terry, Jon, Bill, Jane, Stella, Brenda, Roger, Dianne, Charlie, Colin and Amber
