Family outing at Hope Cove

This little cave set in the village of Hope Cove near Salcombe in Devon is a wonderful day out for families in the school holidays. Fortunately the weather was fine and this cave would afford shelter in any rains.

Best full size.

Herb Riddle replied to Daniela Brocca:

You know Daniela, as our cottage was just a couple of kilometers from here, I thought the name very beautiful too.

ps: the name Hope Cove may derive tautologically from the Old Norse word hóp meaning "bay" or "small inlet". Wiki

Oh Herb, this place brings back such wonderful memories to me!! It was the last time I was on holiday with my parents and youngest brother and sister before I got married! We rented a bungalow from dad's friend and we had the best weather ever! Love this shot :)) Cheers, Rosa.
