It really has been a truly remarkable year and difficult to know where to start. About a year ago, we posted an entry about our travels from the Peak District to Exmouth and during that very stay near to Exmouth, we bought a house in Budleigh Salterton. During May 2019, we completed our relocation from the Thames valley to the beautiful south coast of Devon and the idyllic coastal town of Budleigh Salterton.

Our caravan is stored at Woodbury Caravan and Boat storage and it’s been a while since we haven’t had the caravan housed locally at the house. The storage facility is a gold site and so far our experiences have been first rate. The staff are very efficient and totally organised.

More so than myself – I didn’t think to take a single picture of our pre-departure stay at Pooh Cottage holiday park – close by Budleigh Salterton.

I will post some more details soon, including some pictures but this is a gem of a campsite. The facilities are super modern and certainly put to shame our bathroom facilities at the new house. The site is very peaceful and located right beside the disused railway line connecting Budleigh with Exmouth.

From here, one can cycle all the way to Exmouth, north to Exeter alongside the eastern side of the River Exe before headng south to Dawlish alongside the Western edge of the river.

And it’s virtually all off road.

The town and pebble beach of Budleigh Salterton lie about 1 mile to the South of the campsite.

Finally, Moe managed to track down one photograph of our place at Pooh Cottage. Do give this gem of a site a try though.
