Holidays Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 >Day 4< Day 5 |
|
Today's walk starts in Minehead where we look West along the coast | |
And East towards Butlins | |
Steve takes us to the start of the South West Coast Path | |
And we look around the harbour | |
An old wreck | |
Then our walk begins | |
A welcome site for those completing the SWCP | |
We reach the top of North Hill | |
And continue along the top of the moor | |
A steep coombe leads down to the sea | |
We continue along Selworthy Beacon | |
Porlock appearing through the mist | |
Gorse and heather still giving a splash of colour | |
As we descend around the side of the hill | |
Then follow a grassy track through woods | |
To cross a stream | |
Into Bossington for lunch | |
Continuing towards Porlock Weir we pass a memorial to airmen killed in a plane crash during WW2 | |
Then we continue along the shingle | |
Not easy walking | |
To reach Porlock Weir | |
Where the tide is out | |
But the shops are open | |
A bus ride back into Minehead and chance to check out the steam trains. |
