you have literally followed the route we used to do when we did cross country running at school. One year the area was flooded and was at least 2 feet deep but we were still expected to go through it

Lovely to see so many people we came last year when it was on and just missed seeing them by minutes as we were on the train coming and just missed them flying back to Exeter and also have missed this year as we are 13th of June to Beverly park our favourite holiday destination.

The accompanying birdsong was delightful. Could anyone tell me what species of bird it is which is singing and trilling the loudest in the woods? It's been so long since I lived in the UK that I don't have a clue any more.

@AlanAmor823 жыл бұрын
The beach to the south, South Sands is dog friendly from 1st October through to 30th April, but dogs are allowed on North Sands all year round. At low tide, North Sands is a large expanse of soft golden sands for dogs to run and play on

As a youngster regularly visiting Torquay in the 60s and 70s and into the 80s. I adored the original gorgeous Rock Walk with masses of palms, shrubs and trees. Of an evening, under floodlighting, it was truly enchanting. When I discovered that it had been destroyed I largely lost interest in Torquay and rarely visit now. I'm sad about such a great loss.
@rich_edwards79 Жыл бұрын
Same, miss the 'fairy gardens' that were always full of families in the 80s. And what is that monstrosity they've built where the palm court once stood? I know it burned down (like a lot of old buildings in torquay, under 'suspicious circumstances") but they could at least have replaced it with something more in keeping with the Italianate victorian villas that for me define torquay. Why do seaside towns always seem to have crap councils who have absolutely no idea of what makes these places special? (I live in Scarborough and am still passed off that they tore down the Futurist theatre rather than restoring it.)

I cried to see what has become of the once beautiful Rock Walk. Cool and shady with beautiful shrubs and small trees, palm trees and benches set back in intimate nooks where gaps for an outlook onto Bay views could be enjoyed. At night it became a romantic fairy land, as the flood lights in many colours lit up the foliage. It is now a sad travesty of it's former self, a waste and scrubland of weeds and bramble.Ugly in the extreme, a symphony to commercialism, and an attitude of if it don't pay, scrap it.

If staying in Torquay & interested in history a good place to visit is Plympton St Maurice, this ancient town was the original port of Plymouth before it silted up. The old castle, guildhall & grammer school are worth a visit, the castle meadow is a great place for a picnic & there are three pubs. Despite being rich in history it is free of the crowds that make a visit to Totnes so bothersome now.
