Sunday 27th March 2022
Off to the seaside, by train from Exeter Central for a scenic ride along the coast to Exmouth. Alas unable to get a suitable window seat since everyone else appeared to have had the same idea! Glorious sunshine and actual tee-shirt temperatures probably responsible for that.
A long walk along the seafront, up onto the cliffs, and back down to the town centre where ice creams and coffees could be obtained without joining the incredibly long queues on the seafront. Exmouth is a pleasant resort and I had considered staying there for the weekend rather than Exeter but the extra cost of seaside hotels helped make that decision.
Nice beach huts but not the best location with a busy road between them and the beach. It was beach and book time for a while then I noticed an interesting local feature on Google Maps:
Well I just had to investigate, didn’t I? One of the good things about Google Maps is that anyone can suggest locations to be added to the map. Now from experience Google don’t always accept even genuine places so it’s nice to see the tables turned and users have a little innocent fun :-) Not that Exmouth’s Rusty Pole isn’t a genuine place.
So if you are in the area make sure you visit this unusual tourist attraction. And make sure you give it a review on Google Maps :-)
Part 3 later. Lots of trains.
