Finally a good coastal walk on a Saturday since moving house. This beats DIY for sure! Croyde Bay towards Baggy Point. #northdevon #devon #walking

A great idea at a time when fewer people are reading regularly and increasingly information comes from questionable sources. Countries need to realise the benefits that libraries bring and be innovative with them in an uncertain world.

Looking at walking the Exe Valley Way in stages during September and October. However there seems to be very little out there literature or articles/blogs about it beyond the PDF leaflet compiled by Devon County Council. Any tips or links are greatly appreciated. #walking #devon #walk #slowways

A local 3.9 mile walk today (quite warm!) In the vicinity of the River Taw. Think a black-headed gull with its winter plumage was spotted. #walking

Torrington Commons and Rolle Canal walk. It’s wonderful to have 365 acres of common land and 20 miles of footpaths to explore in beautiful North Devon. I’ve got plenty for routes and views to see in this area still so I will be planning some autumnal walks. #walking #devon #walks

Great Yarmouth Minster in the August sunshine. I probably would have got a better photo from the opposite side thinking about it!

Having been reading about lost temperate rainforests in Britain, I’ve been looking to see fragments in my part of North Devon. Tutshill Woods near Barnstaple came up on a map of lost rainforests. Came across Polytrichum commune (Common Haircap Moss) (I think?) when walking today. Does this count?

Came across the Dripping Well at Anchor Woods in Barnstaple while out walking today. Somewhat hidden away, a slight trickle on this scorcher of a day. Apparently its Victorian stone arch dates back to the 1860s. #walking

On a rainy day in Devon, I’ve been delving into this superb book by @guyshrubsole.bsky.social. It’s got me rethinking my walks into Devon’s woodland landscapes and a desire to get my walking boots on and explore more!
