Country and Coast - Two Dog Walks in One Day

We moved to South Devon a month ago, renting a renovated barn while looking for our new permanent home. We live a few miles from the coast, in the middle of farming country, which means that in the morning, we explore the local woods and footpaths.

Here’s a photo of Topsham Bridge, taken around 8am yesterday.

Since moving, it’s compulsory to go to the coast at the weekend, and yesterday we went to the beach at Thurlestone just before sunset.
