Grey skies while hiking, sun for the afternoon garden visit and outside evening dinner. The hike was advertised as being one of the most beautiful along the whole South West Coast Path... and although I'm not sure it would make the top 5%, it was lovely. Clifftop hiking punctuated by steep descents into and ascents out of painterly coombs. Wild cliffs and tors, with stunning views.
Salcombe is a bit of an odd blend of old-style fishing and sailing village with nouveau riche McMansions and brand stores and galleries... but beautiful nevertheless. Perhaps best viewed from afar.
Overbeck's Garden was less impressive than others I've visited... at least as measured by ideas for garden plants/trees/bushes/features gleaned. Still, nice to spend a couple of hours there having a late light lunch and wandering around the garden. Dinner was in the Crab Shed... or rather next to it on the water as the sun went down. B&B was correct.
People seem to be enjoying themselves... as they should! This has been near perfect so far :-).
