Farmers; noun, plural – a person who owns or manages a farm

Farm; noun – an area of land and its buildings, used for growing crops and rearing animals.

And why, you ask is this important. The dictionary definitions themselves are remarkably un-important but when they are strung together with other words they become remarkably relevant.

The two images below are of two campsites. Bay View Farmers campsite, is a touring site a couple of miles from Woolacombe beach and located on the Tarka cycle trail.

Bay View Farm campsite is in the centre of Croyde, a 10 minute walk from the beach.

Both sites have much in common, a small spelling difference of just two letters and neither site appears to have outstanding views of their relevant bay, despite their names. In fact, the two letters are actually 15 miles apart down some horribly narrow Devon country lanes.

We are actually staying at Bay View Farm site in Croyde, which was a surprise because we planned on staying at Bay View Farmers campsite near Woolacombe. We planned all our trips around this site – the only problem being Joe seems to have loaded the wrong booking system…

So, here we are in Croyde at a very busy campsite just opposite Croyde beach. The journey was uneventful once we figured out that our final destination was Bay View Farm at Croyde, not Bay View Farmers at Woolacombe and definitely not Bay View Farm at Looe.

Damn this is confusing.

And Croyde beach in the distance (not a view from pitch D4!).
