The boys and I spent a week driving around the beautiful county of Devon,instead of making up various pages of each town,I thought I`d put them all onto one Devon page.
We went to Ilfracombe,Lynton and Lynmouth,Barnstaple,Coombe Martin,so on these pages you`ll find tips and pics from all these lovely British towns.
In Ilfracombe,theres a tribute to the Olympic Triple jumper Jonathan Edwards,he used to live there.
The boys and I are standing on the spys that represent the "Hop,skip ,jump and landing" of his Olympic record.I`m sure you`ll agree its a helluva distance.
Every night the sunsets seemed to be different,some of the pictures came out,alas some didnt.But thats how it goes sometimes.
This one was taken over Ilfracombe,on the way back to Coombe Martin,theres a picnic area there.
- Pros:Lovely pretty villages,and friendly locals.
- Cons:Can be hilly,especially if your cars abit "Iffy!!"
- In a nutshell:Much more than just a thoroughfare to Cornwall

This is a nice hidden gem. Like the St.Nicholas Chapel a lot. Thanx for sharing!
It looks like you had great weather for your vacation trip! This is a part of the Devon coast that I have not yet been able to visit.
