Devon trip (LX100 and a rogue TZ60)

[theoldsmithy]

Another trademark packed weekend away. This time we stayed in Dartmouth, South Devon. A very pretty place on the Dart estuary with lots going on and a ridiculous number of hills!
NB all photos have been tweaked to some extent; mostly just my LX100 preset applied in LR but a few also in Color Efex Pro. I've added "CEP" to the description if they were 'Nik'd'

First we stopped at Killerton House near Exeter: nice landscapes around the house (CEP)

Then Dartmouth...this is one of the hills we had to walk up and down into town: (NB this is a rogue TZ60 photo!!) (CEP)

There was a rowing race going on in the river one afternoon:

This isn't an accident...the ferry has to push the raft over the river against the flow of the tide. Still looks a bit hair-raising to me!

A view from further down the river back towards Dartmouth. The swan is the prow of a boat stored in the garden of the house

The growth in the garden was stunning for early April, and the views spectacular:
