The new higher ferry at Dartmouth
A glorious sunny morning, calm water and an exactly right tide set us on course for Pudcombe cove, below the National Trust’s Coleton Fishacre house, built for the D’Oyly Carte family of operatic fame.

There are rock gardens and sea caves on the coastal stretch from Dartmouth. We returned via the Mew Stone and found the seal family enjoying a siesta on a comfortable rock.

Their repose was rudely spoiled by the wash from a motor boat splashing over the rock. One of the young seals is unusually inquisitive and friendly.
