A Day in Ilfracombe, Devon: English Beach, Crabbing & Lobster Roll
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- Come with us as we explore the lovely town of Ilfracombe in Devon!
We started the day in our lovely cabin in Porlock Weir, Somerset, where we were invited to stay by The Best of Exmoor (*www.thebestofe... and use the code lozsleisure to get £30 off any holiday cottage stay!). We then headed out on a walk into a rather grey day.
We drove an hour or so along the coast from Porlock Weir into Devon and parked up at the waterfront in Ilfracombe. Here we saw the mighty, eccentric Damien Hirst statue, Verity, which really "peels back the layers" of what it means to be a human.
Some wet weather rolled in so we headed for a coffee and then for some seafood at Slice of Devon. We went for a lobster roll, crab fries and a cone of calamari. The sun even came out while we ate it (and I got some awesome drone shots of Ilfracombe).
Nevertheless, the sun went into hiding again after a few minutes and we spent some time shopping in the local shops and picked up two crabbing lines and a bucket. Hannah expertly attached the crabbing nets to the lines and lost a quick round of rock, paper, scissors, meaning she had to grab the extremely pungent salted squid and put it in as bait. Whether it was our lack of skill, the bait, or the crabs simply not being hungry, we failed to get any into out newly-bought bucket and eventually gave up to go to Tunnels Beaches.
We didn't realise that you had to pay but we still went in (£7 for two adults) and went through the tunnels that were carved in 1823! There was lots of historical information and even a wedding venue overlooking one of the hidden beaches. As we (unfortunately) went at high tide, we couldn't see the tidal bathing / rock pools, but we did have a practically private beach!
We drove back to Porlock Weir and hoped for better luck with the crabs, but there we had no luck either, so Hannah suggested admitting defeat and heading to the pub for a pint - to which I couldn't say no!

Love seeing your smiles it makes my day, I enjoyed your video the views where wonderful the food mouth watering, thanks for sharing Big Love to you both and your Mum.😀🤗❣
Thanks so much, Howard! Hope you are doing well, especially as it's getting colder!
Another great video. Drone shots were superb.
Thanks a ton, Sandra! You know me... if there's a chance to get the drone up I will! 😁 ... unless of course Hannah is cold or hungry. Making her wait in those situations can be a dangerous game 🤣 hope you are well!
Great to see my old hometown of Ilfracombe on video, I miss the old town.. That rain looks familiar and the price of entry to the Tunnels beaches has increased quite a lot since I was there last! Nice little video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏 we had such a nice time there but would love to have caught some crabs... We're actually heading back there for a friend's wedding later this month!
THAT LOBSTER roll looked delicious! and I was shocked by how affordable the prices were, that lobster roll in USA would be about 30 USD!
Oh yeah bro! And really? I knew prices were way higher out there but that's a crazyyy difference!
Thanks guide for us to see beautiful place
Our pleasure, thank you for watching!
The crabs were feeling crabby that day. ❤
Too right 😂🤣 maybe we'll get them on a not-so-crabby day next time! Happy New Year 🫶
Hey Hannah Loz a classic mixed weather day but when that sun shines boi it’s nice 👌🏻
Those coves where brill a bargain for £3.50
And lunch did look amazing (lobster roll🤠🙏🏼)
Always fun and with such positive vibes guys thanks for sharing your day 🙏🏼
Best regards Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Absolutely classic! Makes the sun seem even better when it does come out though! Always brings back fond memories of childhood being at the British seaside and getting the crabbing gear out! Thanks as always, Simon 🙏
Sorry you didn’t have any luck with crabbing but what a lovely area to explore & I’d love to walk through those tunnels to the beach! Fabulous scenery!
You obviously need to come with us next time and show us how it's done!
Pretty wild to see how things have changed over the years! Glad you're still posting, great quality as always!
Definitely some big differences! But living a very blessed life. Thanks so much for the kind words and hope you're well!
Thanks!
Thank you so much, man!! Wishing you the happiest year ahead 🫶
How lovely and British for a rainy south coast adventure makes it authentic Cornwall was the same three weeks back it rained each day at some point I even managed to slide down a concrete ramp and come back with three cracked ribs and a bruised arm which as I type I still have the bruise as bad really slowly trying to fade and it was three weeks yesterday since I did it 🙈 I loved crabbing growing up at mevagissey we always had a go but rarely see anyone there doing so now! I've not explored much of Devon but definitely want to our neighbors want to retire there and are often off on holiday to there 😄👏🎉💖
OMG EVE!!!! Are you okay? Hope you're healing up fast!
Did you ever catch many crabs? I used to catch loads with my dad as a kid. Hope you get to explore more of Devon soon 😁
@@LozsLeisure thanks I'm doing better slowly easier to just breath and cough etc my arm still has a lovely black bruise on it and yes lots of crabs I only saw one little girl with any crabs in a bucket last time sadly!
@@evebeinguniquebeingme6205 so glad to hear you're on the mend now! Have you had to rest a lot?
She must have known all the secrets... I hope you got the insider knowledge from her 😂
I wanna try the fries…they look so good haha
Ahhhh they were!!! But I think maybe the lobster roll was my fave 😍
Sorry the crabbing experience wasn’t fruitful, but it looks like so much fun!!
Hahah yeah, my perfect activity... mainly just chilling 😂
