Coleton Fishacre and Brixham

For the second of our days out we made the most of the National Trust.

We headed to Coleton Fishacre just down from Brixham.

Want an incredible house, built in the 1920's it is not garish. The architecture is just perfect the shape of the rooms, the turret room, views from each window it's just beautiful.

The gardens are a combination of brightly coloured and subtle and there is a walk you can take through the woods and down nearer to the sea. 

If you in the area I can't rate this enough as a place to visit.

As always we managed to make time for knitting. 

Without fail when I visit any National Trust cafe I like to have there delicious scones too. 

So we stayed for three hours here and decided before heading back we'd take a trip to Brixham as it was on route and I'd not been for years.

Wow it was packed!! Quite alot of mask wearing was involved as Brixham is not a big place and lots of people milling about.

It has a lovely harbour with both yatchets and huge fishing boats in.  The tide was out when we went so it looked like all the boats where stranded!

A quant town, but not one I'll visit again in the height of summer.

 

We spotted lots of people on the other side of the harbour huddled together looking in the water and there was a seal. This was amazing to see and my phone pictures could not do it justice as the seal was eating a very big eel!
