East Prawle

Last night saw a very high spring tide in Salcombe. The quay was awash in places.

Today we’re headed for a place called East Prawle. We cooked-up this route in the pub last night, so no idea how long it might take. As long as we don’t miss the last ferry we’ll be ok. There’s a nice pub at East Prawle called the Pig’s Nose Inn.

We have brunch at East Prawle, then head south onto the coast path.

The coastline is rugged, and the path undulates it’s way west back towards Salcombe.
