Fantastic 10 Days

We have just spent 10 days here with the intention of cycling as much as possible. The Ex Estuary Cycle Route fits the bill perfectly. Mostly car free, loads of pubs to stop at and a very flat route. Both sides accessible either by the Topsham Ferry, or Exeter or Exmouth to Starcross. All easy rides. Crablake Farm is a lovely tranquil site to visit. The site is sloped so you need to find a spot that is reasonably level. You will probably need some type of levelling blocks. Nothing too severe. The views are very good, lots of birds to see. Getting to the site is a bit hairy but fun. Coming in from Exminster follow the signs for the Golf Club up the hill. With the Golf club on your left keep going until you reach Crablake Farm on the right, keep going for about 20 odd yards and the entrance is on the left. If the Golf club appears on the right you have gone too far. Either go around or turn in the Golf Club. That gets them going. We raised a few eyebrows when we did it. The toilet is fine, clean and useable. Not so sure about the shower, we didn't use it. Eggs are on sale occasionally. Grass is cut and the whole site is very clean and tidy. Electricity is charged by meter. For us it worked out £5 per day and at £18 per day I thought £23 a day is very good value for money. We parked at the top near the entrance and had the sun all day. Park nearer the trees if you want some shade. Jerry is very personable and is quite happy to have a chat with you. All in all we had a brilliant 10 days and we did not want to go home.
