Away from the hustle of places like Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, North Devon is peppered with tiny coves, empty beaches and wooded walks leading to secluded bays that feel a million miles away from the tourist trail. These eight spots are some of the best kept secrets on the North Devon coast
1) Peppercombe
The walk down to Peppercombe beach is as delightful as the beach itself. Starting at the Coach and Horses pub at Horns Cross (parking is for customers only so you ll need to find somewhere safe to park on the main road) the path meanders through woodland for about a mile alongside a stream, past quaint cottages, down to a shingle and stone beach.
Winter is usually a high point for many landscape photographers but what do you do when the weather just keeps being gray and boring?
In 2019, I had one day of snow in Denmark, and in 2020 none whatsoever. Without snow or frost, most winter landscapes and woodland scenes are rather unimpressive and uninspiring. The question is what to do about it and is it possible to get beautiful photos without the typical winter conditions?
Travel
The most obvious way to solve the problem of the lack of snow is to go or travel to where it is. Due to the current pandemic and lockdowns around the globe, I will not linger too much at this tip. However, if you are free to move around your own country responsibly and snow is present somewhere it is just about getting out.
