It was misty at breakfast time but the sun soon burned away the mist and once again we had wall-to-wall sunshine. We'd originally thought we might walk from Mortehoe around Morte Point to Bull Point lighthouse. In the event we decided we didn't have the energy for that so instead we headed to Marwell Hill Gardens.
The clue is in the name - the gardens are spread around both slopes of a steep-sided area with a series of ponds in the bottom of the valley. I'm sure it's my imagination but there seemed to be more 'up' bits than the 'downs'. Anyway, I took some photos of the shrubs and views of the gardens and ponds.
We headed back to Woolacombe after a few hours at the gardens and took a break at the hotel before heading to the beach. We walked and paddled for a while then headed back to the hotel and sat and had our ice-creams in the grounds.
BTW, every time the lift at the hotel announces 'Ground Floor' I find myself singing in my head .. "perfumery, stationery and leather goods, wigs & haberdashery, kitchenware and food .. going up!"
