While on holiday in Combe Martin we caught the bus to Ilfracombe to walk along the South West Coast Path around this town. From the Landmark Theatre we started to walk towards Torrs Park. There was a steep path up to the cliffs and then a zig zag path up to a viewpoint, but the views along the way were lovely.

On the way back we walked slightly inland, which was a gentler slope and took us through the National Trust Car Park and then through the gardens above the Landmark Theatre. This was much quicker than the route we had taken on the way out.
Once back in Ilfracombe we walked around Capstone Hill to the harbour. The big attraction in the harbour is Damien Hirst's sculpture, Verity. Unfortunately there was a fair in the harbour car park so it was not easy to see the sculpure without fairground vehicles being in the way. Nevertheless, it was imposing although not particularly to my taste.
After eating our lunch watching gig racers practising and other boats bobbing around on the rough sea we headed back to Ilfracombe town to catch the bus back to Combe Martin to collect the car and visit Marwood Gardens.
