The food as per menu.








All very tasty and obviously fresh.


The steak was the only let down. quite tough.




Desserts. Two hazelnut semi freddo and 2 sticky toffee puddings. Nice but not outstanding.




All in all a very good lunch experience.

Then we went to the veggie garden.

After lunch we went for a drive first stopping at Ashburton a village with several antique shops. Like most villages quite narrow streets.




This is the former Town Hall. like several of the buildings it is built over a small stream.


And this is a bridge over that stream.




A pleasant village with gift shops and restaurants as well.

Next up it was going to Devonport on the Tamar river. The Tamar is the border between Devon and Cornwall. So we caught the ferry to Cornwall.


A spare ferry,


Looking back to Devonport Which is home to the Royal Navy. The nuclear subs have recently relocated from Scotland to here.








And Cornwall.

You get off the ferry at the village of Torpoint. Then drove around a large bay to Cremyll where there is a nice looking pub, a passenger ferry to Portsmouth and views of the Royal William Yards which was the victualling headquarters of the Navy but now being turned into private apartments with several restaurants.











the pub.




You can then enter the Mount Edgecumbe Country park.




Views to Edgecumbe house.


And the Orangery which usually operates as a cafe but today was closed for a wedding reception.

The Orangery gardens were colourful.
