Daffodils rising up the bank on the way out of Brixham near Strawberry Bends are a cheering sight for the pedestrian or the cyclist on the shared footpath.

It is encouraging to see this part of a bank on the way into Brixham near Lupton House entrance covered in daffodils as the rest of the year it is just grass and shrubby hedgerow.

A379 / B3205 junction

The B3205 is a shortish road in the Dartmouth Area parallel to the A379. It runs 4.5 miles from Stoke Fleming to Hillhead, via the Kingsweir Ferry. Starting at a fork on the A379 this narrow road proceeds via Warfleet Road to Dartmouth Lower Ferry. A branch with the same number goes from this point to Dartmouth Higher Ferry and the A379. The B3205 crosses the Lower Ferry to Kingswear and then climbs to join the A379 at Hillhead SX9053 : A379 / B3205 junction.

Raddicombe Drive, House Roofs

The 1960's development at Raddicombe Drive, which was plonked down in the countryside below Hillhead, used a design of heavy tiles on shallowly sloping roofs. The houses to the left on this picture were called townhouses using a different design. Guzzle Down hill is at the back of the image with the Brixham Road running below it behind the white house standing on its own on the right.

Gardens at the rear of Raddicombe Drive houses facing down the hill towards Brixham are in the foreground of this picture. A new development of a barn for overwintering cattle lies in the valley below and the access road for this can be seen on the left. Torquay is to the left of the image on the horizon.

Raddicombe Drive, Hillhead

The Raddicombe Drive development which was built in the mid 1960's was somewhat more generous in the allocation of land per dwelling than today's designs. However, a large number of houses were built in the open countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The houses in this picture are bungalow style and make the most of the view from the hill over Torbay with large windows. Also see SX9053 : Raddicombe Drive, House Roofs
