Easter Week in North Devon Day 9

Our last day in Devon meant we needed to take another walk before driving back to London tomorrow. So off to Countisbury Hill on the Exmoor coast rife with Iron Age hill forts.

The National Trust path is along a steep combe . . .

. . . with stands of . . .

. . . mossy trees . . .

. . . and always sheep . . .

. . . some of whom don't make it past predators or through winter . . .

. . . but we made it easily back to Countisbury church and the car park . . . 

. . . to a fantastic lunch at the Staghunters Inn in Brendon . . .

. . . and a drive across the desolate heath of Exmoor . . .

. . . covered with gorse and bracken.
