Croyde to Barnstaple The walk from Combas Farm Campsite to Barnstaple should be easy. At least, that's what the swcp guidebook says. It's a long, nearly flat walk from Croyde, past a house that looked like something off of Grand Designs, down Saunton Sands, between Saunton Golf Course and Braunton Burrows, around the low Horsey Island, … Continue reading SWCP Day 6 – 15 April 2017
