SWCP: Torquay to Babbacombe

The true scale of our endeavours today was greater than shown here - nine miles and 1500 feet of ascent. The weather was absolutely perfect, sunny but with a warm breeze. A lovely day.

We started by walking down to Torquay Harbour.

Quite a few pines and cedars. In this weather, a little reminiscent of the south of France.

Lovely houses on Daddyhole Plain (I kid ye not). We stopped here for coffee at the Headland Hotel. 

Back to the Airbnb for a night in, watching The Chair. Expecting some rain tomorrow morning so might be forced to go to the very nice local cafe for a slap-up breakfast.
