We had a big driving day today, so we made sure we got on the road quite early this morning. We first stopped at Fingle Bridge – a very picturesque old bridge! We had to travel along some ruddy narrow road to get there! Nothing like a good old narrow English road to put you you on the edge of your seat…
Our next stop was Widecombe in the Moor (on the edge of Dartmoor) where we had lunch at a little pub. We stuffed our faces and then got back on the road and headed towards a Clapper Bridge.
Rubble stone Inn
We saw some horses just running through the centre of the village! A very strange sight!
A very happy stone wall !
The Clapper Bridge. A Clapper Bridge is a medieval form of bridge found in the moors of Devon formed by large flat slabs of stone supported by stone stone piers.This particular bridge is found at Post Bridge in Dartmoor. It’s slabs are over four metres long and two metres wide, they weigh over eight tonnes each!
Then we went to a place up in the moors where there was a Neolithic stone road and smaller stone circle.
We made it to Port Isaac by about 5pm. Just enough time to check in to The Old School hotel, have a walk around, try and spot as many Doc martin Filming sights as we could and then go and have dinner! Port Isaac is just so beautiful, the narrow streets, the white buildings with slate roof tops, the quaint little shops, the aqua blue water, the fishing boats, the cliffs, and the list goes on!!
Behind the sea gull is The Old School hotel.

Hi, everything going well. Had a bit of a stressful afternoon getting the hire car back and to the hotel near Heathrow. We fly to Dublin tomorrow. Love from all of us.
How fabulous!! Looks like it is getting a little cooler there? Have an awesome time!!
Hi, the weather is a day-by-day proposition. Goes grey then clears into a nice sunny day, then rains. Still enjoying things even if we won’t return with sun tans. Cheers from all of us.
Beautiful photos. I feel like I’m watching an English TV show when I read your blog.
