Tintagel Castle and the Hartland Coast – Day 3 - Cornwall to Devon


In order to set up for the conference, we needed to be in Somerset by 10am on Thursday, so I booked us into an Airbnb property on the north coast of Devon – about an hour away from the conference centre.  So on Wednesday, we made the move from Cornwall to Devon with a few stops along the way.

Our first stop was another English Heritage site – Tintagel Castle: the birthplace King Arthur (as legend has it).  The castle is built right on the cliffs and is very interesting because in addition to the castle, there are foundations for hundreds of other houses and buildings that were once on the site.  And there are multiple caves that you can explore at low tide. 

















As an added benefit – sheep roam the property to help maintain the grass.  And it’s lambing season!  So we got to see this little one who had been born overnight. 



After lunch, we headed north to Devon and to the Hartland Coast – another beautiful region of the coast.  We parked for a wee while at the lighthouse and had a bit of a wander. 




But at this point we were both a bit worn out from being blown around the pervious day and just wanted to early evening so we headed to Combe Martin and our home away from home for the evening.  And that concluded the main part of our holiday exploration since the conference started the following day. 

Love you & miss you,

Aubs, Luke & Luther
