anyway, it's somewhere down west ... can't be far from Lynmouth and Lynton as I think we were down there and there were trips to Porlock on offer ... I am going back a few years though and my sense of direction and geography are total rubbish! |

After you go past Lynton/Lynemouth you come to Porlock hill which in the old days had to be attacked in reverse gear by some cars. Modern cars of course don't have a problem. Porlock has a very pretty little village and quay. (Somerset) |
