BRITISH ISLES #3

We left Land's End in Cornwall and drove north along the Atlantic  Coast, stayed one night in the harbor town of Ilfracombe, then on to Lynton, which is at Exmoor  National Park  and on the coast.

Driving here is very different from the US -- we are taking secondary  roads & Avoiding the M (motorways) roads ( think Interstate) as much as possible so we can see the countryside.  We pass through  little villages, which are generally a maze & very tight manuevering.  Tons of roundabouts  where we need to keep our eyes peeled for where to exit as well as avoiding crashing into some poor local who knows what the heck is going on.  There are no 'scenic overlook ' pull outs so no places for photo-ops!  I finally wised up  & shot pics out the car window.  You can see there is often no view from the road --  all that darn stuff growing alongside.

The sign is from at lovely hike up the river at Lynton, but it reflects the general condition of our drives. 😮
