TRACE THE MITTEN

From Bodinick to Burton Bradstock

During the  116 miles ridden in this segment I traveled through the towns of: Looe, Seaton Torpoint, Plymouth,  Ivybridge, Tingley, Totnes, Teignmouth, Kenton, Clyst St. Mary, Newton Poppleford, Sidford, Colyford, Lyme Regis,  and Chideock,   You can find places to eat, sights to see and accomodations.
Picture
Loving the quiet road away from the traffic.
Picture
The village of Looe. The sandy beach is inviting during the summer. In the winter we see just the walkers.
Picture
Another little village, Seaton, along the shore. These are also big commercial fishing
Picture
Torpoint is a planned city on a peninsula from the 18th century. A ferry goes across to Plymouth. The Royal Navy has a spot here.

Picture
Path along the River Erme and I see the bridge covered by ivy near the town of Ivybridge.
Picture
Near Tingley I see the Ardsley Resevoir.
Picture
I move out near the sea to Teignmouth, a large seaside fishing port.
Picture
This is a good spot to vacation during the warmer weather.
Picture
The village of Kenton has a castle. I will travel through several towns a day. I am averaging about 20 miles a ride.
Picture
Every town or village will have a church. This is in Kenton.
Picture
The Half Moon Inn in Clyst St. Mary. Clyst is a Celtic word for "clear stream."
Picture
This virtual meal just does not make it. Our indoor restaurant dining in Michigan is not open until tomorrow.
Picture
The street through Newton Poppleford which was founded in 1331. I bet many of the surrounding villages were from the same age.
Picture
We are looking down to the village of Sidford. It lies 3.7 miles from the town I just went through and it will be 8.4 miles to the next town.
Picture
Approaching the village Colyford.
Picture
The harbor wall in Lyme Regis is called the Cobb and it is quite well known. It is mentioned in some classic literature.
Picture
Cycling in a bit from the English Channel I come upon Chideock.
Picture
The village of Burton Bradstock
Like many of the villages, Burton Bradstock, had a parish church, two pubs, primary school, shop, post office, beach cafe, hotel, garage, village hall, and reading room in the library. That sounds complete.
