Hartland Quay

This weeks set of photos were taken on the North coast of Devon at Hartland Quay which is a few miles up the coast from Bude.

What a delightful day we spent in and around this small area, Hartland Quay itself was beautiful with it lovely beach and some wonderful rocks for us to climb over and do some rock pooling.

Hartland Quay has a hotel, a small but lovely shop selling all the seaside items for a day at the beach and delicious ice cream. Above the shop there is the Hartland Quay Museum which is very well presented and informative. Lots of information about the many ship wrecks that have happened here over the years.

All in all a great day out, enjoy the photos....

Looking out to sea

Here I was standing on the cliff coastal path over looking the car park that we had parked in at Hartland Quay. I wish I could take a few months off so I could walk some of our beautiful coastal paths, with views like this at every turn.

Here the family were playing, making a small dam across the river but Jess had other ideas and just wanted them to play with her.

This was the small stream that ran down to the cliff edge and then cascaded over to the cove below.

Back at Hartland Quay the rocks were wonderful for rock pooling and as you can see there must have been plenty to see in them.
