A Day in Ilfracombe, Devon: English Beach, Crabbing & Lobster Roll
Come with us as we explore the lovely town of Ilfracombe in Devon!
We started the day in our lovely cabin in Porlock Weir, Somerset, where we were invited to stay by The Best of Exmoor (*https://www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk/274.html and use the code lozsleisure to get £30 off any holiday cottage stay!). We then headed out on a walk into a rather grey day.
We drove an hour or so along the coast from Porlock Weir into Devon and parked up at the waterfront in Ilfracombe. Here we saw the mighty, eccentric Damien Hirst statue, Verity, which really "peels back the layers" of what it means to be a human.
Some wet weather rolled in so we headed for a coffee and then for some seafood at Slice of Devon. We went for a lobster roll, crab fries and a cone of calamari. The sun even came out while we ate it (and I got some awesome drone shots of Ilfracombe).
Nevertheless, the sun went into hiding again after a few minutes and we spent some time shopping in the local shops and picked up two crabbing lines and a bucket. Hannah expertly attached the crabbing nets to the lines and lost a quick round of rock, paper, scissors, meaning she had to grab the extremely pungent salted squid and put it in as bait. Whether it was our lack of skill, the bait, or the crabs simply not being hungry, we failed to get any into out newly-bought bucket and eventually gave up to go to Tunnels Beaches.
We didn't realise that you had to pay but we still went in (£7 for two adults) and went through the tunnels that were carved in 1823! There was lots of historical information and even a wedding venue overlooking one of the hidden beaches. As we (unfortunately) went at high tide, we couldn't see the tidal bathing / rock pools, but we did have a practically private beach!
We drove back to Porlock Weir and hoped for better luck with the crabs, but there we had no luck either, so Hannah suggested admitting defeat and heading to the pub for a pint - to which I couldn't say no!
