Aveton Gifford and a Classic car show Monday 29th August 2011

This small village between Modbury and Kingsbridge, in the South Hams, held a classic car show in aid of charity today.  The road out of the village runs beside a river estuary and at certain times is impassable as the tide covers the road.

A beautiful setting though as these pictures will show:

The Car show was organised by Tony Porter who once owned Burgh Island and has written a novel about it.

The village of Ide and Exeter Quay - sunday 28th August 2011

Following the Good Pub Guide we find the Poachers Inn at Ide.  So quiet in this pub, but the food was so delicious that it deserves to be full!!   Highly recommended!!
