Use of the fast B3210 from Avonwick to Ermington allowed us plenty of time to explore the delightful lanes around Holbeton, an area which we don’t often visit. Mothecombe beach, bathed as it was in warm sunshine, made an ideal spot for lunch, with entertainment provided by numerous wind surfers on the bay.

California Cross provided a welcome watering hole on the return journey, which took us homeward via South Brent.
