Baslow

We recently spent a week near Chesterfield again, this time walking round Baslow. The bridge over the river has pedestrian refuges either side, the point of one can be seen in the picture.
On one face, instead of numbers, the church clock has Victoria 1897, the year of her Diamond Jubilee.

Chesterfield Canal

A recent holiday took us to a village near Chesterfield. The canal was neaby and we walked the towpath for a short distance.

Dunster

A visit to Dunster was very interesting. The yarn market on the high street, dovecote (behind the church) as well as the tithe barn and the church memorial garden are all worth the visit. Parking is good and payment options still include cash - a plus for many.

A passageway in South Molton

Walking around South Molton we found this passageway - similar to ones we have seen in Spain. The market Hall is on the left and the passage comes out onto the high street. The Pannier Market (Thursdays) is well worth a visit.

N Devon

In early November we spent a few days in North Devon near South Molton. Here are a few photos from our visit. Old houses in the village, with the 'break away' fire break between the old mill and its house; the bread ovens - internally built at the side of the fireplace seen as a bulge at the outside; a view from the hilltop and the river.
