20240705-SomersetBreak

On the 10th anniversary of Valerie & Hari first meeting, we drove to a place called Huntstile in Somerset, to drop off Emily & Sean who had come from Singapore to attend a friend's wedding. We drove on to Nether Stowey and stayed at The Ancient Mariner pub. We visited Coleridge Cottage where Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived for a couple of years writing some of his best poetry. We then drove on to visit Lynton & Lynmouth, where we went on the pretty unique Cliff Railway. On the way back we got acquainted with some Exmoor Ponies.
