Perfect CL just as it should be
This CL has turned out to be the last one we will visit on a seven week tour of the south west in our motorhome. We initially booked in for four nights but are still hear 10 days later with nearly another week booked in. Its just perfect for us. We have toured right round the south west coast from West Dorset along through south Devon and Cornwall and back up through north Devon to here. The two places that stand out as being absolute clear winners for us are the Salcombe Area and here above Lee Bay between Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. The CL is large enough to give everyone plenty of space. Good services with two drinking water taps at opposite sides of the field and a black waste point. Certainly at this time of year with Solar we don't need anything else.
Lee Bay below is delightful and even in the heatwave here it never got crowded as there is limited parking. My wife does all the walking and she is delighted with the walks in the area. We carry a small scooter and there is so much to see from here from Lynmouth, Exmoor, Combe Martin, Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, Mortehoe (fantastic chippy) and down to Putsborough and Croyde. Jo the owner is extremely friendly and helpful and responds to emails and texts quickly and is more than happy to offer advice on what to see and do.
You can walk down a path straight down to Lee Bay (there is a pub!) but its a bit of a hike back (just over a mile). The drive down is fine but a bit narrow in places. Access to the CL by road from the main road is fine also. A bit narrow in places but they all are and the best thing about that is its right at the end of a single track road that goes nowhere so total peace and quiet are guaranteed. Highly recommended.
