In pictures – A South Hams sunset

The South Devon coast is up there as one of my favourite places to visit in the UK.

In fact I would stretch that last statement as one of my favourite places anywhere. And I have seen a lot in my time (with still a lot more to discover).

Hope Cove, a small seaside village is located 5 miles west of Salcombe and the same distance south west of Kingsbridge. It has two beaches, Mouthwell Sands and Inner Hope Harbour and is sheltered by the headland of Bolt Tail which is a popular walking spot with local and visitors, including me (look out for a video to follow shortly of some of the views from up there).

One of the many charms of this coastline is its sunsets. They can be truly superb with the changing light producing an array of orange, pink and blues. You could sit for hours and watch it, and we do.

The small selection of images below captures a sunset from another of our recent visits, including a typical view along Bigbury Bay capturing Burgh Island and stretches as far as Plymouth.
