Highlight - the South West Coastal Walking Path
North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty的点评
点评:North Devon is off the beaten track for most overseas tourists but for those who have the time to explore, this is a very ruggedly beautiful part of England.
It’s not an exaggeration to label it as an area of outstanding beauty. The most dramatic landscapes feature near-vertical coastal cliffs, waterfalls, hidden coves and rocky shores. Hartland Quay with its craggy rock formations, stood out for its wild landscape.
However there is a lot of variety. Beaches like Woolacoombe are very popular, family-friendly, sandy beaches where you can swim, lie on the sand, build sandcastles with the kids or watch surfers taking to the waves.
The highlight for us was walking various sections of the South West Coastal Path.
We spent 7 days in the area which was a decent amount of time to see a lot although of course, we couldn’t see everything (the are covers 171 square km).
We stayed at Lynton, Ilfracombe and Hartland which were all good bases for exploring the area.
翻译:北德文郡对大多数海外游客来说都是鲜为人知的秘境,但对于那些有时间探索的人来说,这里是英格兰一处风景壮丽、充满野性之美的地区。
称其为“绝美之地”毫不为过。这里最壮观的景观包括近乎垂直的海岸悬崖、瀑布、隐秘的海湾和嶙峋的海岸。哈特兰码头以其嶙峋的岩层而闻名,展现出原始的自然风光。
然而,这里远不止于此。像伍拉库姆海滩这样的沙滩非常受欢迎,是家庭出游的理想之选。您可以在这里游泳、躺在沙滩上、和孩子们一起堆沙堡,或者观看冲浪者乘风破浪。
对我们来说,此行的亮点是徒步穿越西南海岸步道的不同路段。
我们在这里待了7天,时间充裕,足以领略许多美景,当然,我们不可能看完所有地方(该地区面积达171平方公里)。
我们分别在林顿、伊尔弗勒科姆和哈特兰下榻,这些地方都是探索周边地区的好落脚点。
