A time at Ramslade and surrounding area.

As said the approach road was a little tricky, got stuck on it for 20 mins while no one ahead appeared willing to pass each other. However, that’s what you expect on most roads in Devon, some other roads nearby even narrower than this one. Piece of advice, ignore the sat nav, it took us through some very narrow lanes to get to the site, despite having a sat nav with all our vehicle measurements to take into account…….not. We were made welcome and the staff while we were there were all friendly and helpful. The site is lovely on two different levels, one is on a sloping edge with some wonderful views. The other side was more level and the pitches felt more closer to one another. We didn’t have a great choice, but the warden ringed the available sites at the time which was very useful. Once we pitched up on a service pitch it was level and very tidy. Yes the water tap and waste was a little further away than expected, but it wasn’t a problem. The facilities were fine and always kept very clean, we never had any problems in getting a shower. The only thing I would say is that the Wi-fi signal was very poor, none existent for most of the time while we was there. I tried getting a signal when I moved closer to reception, but it was hit or miss even getting closer. It didn’t spoil it too much. The area is very scenic, you can get a bus from outside the entrance to Stoke Gabriel or Paignton. Time table is available at reception. We decided to hire a car and glad we did, even though our motorhome is just 6 metres, we felt it was just not worth trying to visit places with it. The car got us to places that a motorhome would struggle with, especially when it came to parking. We visited Becky Falls in Dartmoor, what we didn’t realise is you have to pay to visit it, preferably in advance online. However, as it was quieter we paid online when we got there, using there phone as we couldn’t get a signal strong enough to complete purchase. Cockington Village and the Country Park is another great day out. Torquay, Paignton and Brixham along Torbay is well worth seeing and visiting. We took an evening drive to Brixham and it was beautiful as the darkness set in. Great bars and pubs to sample there as well. Great for cycling if you’re fit enough, lots of hills around, also applies if you decide to walk. The only suitable walk with some lanes to walk on is to Stoke Gabriel. The best way is to walk along the lane direct to Stoke Gabriel, less lane to walk on and as you approach the outside of the village, cross over and walk on a footpath avoiding the long narrow lane section here. There are other alternatives walks, the one by the river is good, but check the tide times. The river shack eating place is lovely and folk nearby line fish for crabs. We walked to Totnes, but regretted it.. the footpaths were very difficult in places and difficult. The walk back was on the road and that on reflection was dangerous,. No footpaths and very scary.
