North Devon | One of the Best Beaches in the UK- Woolabombe Beach | Motorcycle Road Trip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2021
- Our first full day in Devon and after a superb breakfast at The Little Kitchen in Plymouth, Monika and I headed off 2.5 hours directly north, all the way up to the north coast.
We started at Woolacombe Beach- widely regarded to be one of the best beaches in the UK (some outlets even mention it as one of the world’s best beaches!).
After that, we headed north east along the coast to the towns of Lynton and Lynmouth; a couple of beautiful seaside towns that sit side by side. The coastal road running east from Lynmouth is stunning- I hugely recommend it! Oh and the perfect way to end the day, or just to relax, is the Cliff Railway Cliff Top Cafe in Lynton, with stunning cliff top views directly over the sea.

I actually felt sorry for Freddie when he said Monica got extremely angry with him for booking too budget of accommodations !!!! LOL! Go easy on the guy Monica !!!
The chap has model good looks and couldn't be nicer...
I think a lot of women would be willing to stay anywhere with him ! ......so take it easy Monica !🙂
Thank you! I've just had to prepare Monika with the news that we don't have a cabin for the 38 hour Spain to Tenerife ferry, so this comment will soften the blow!😆
Lovely to see you and Monika in our neck of the woods Freddie! 👍
VW Camper pulling a enclosed trailer for your Motorcycle...PERFECT !
No one needed to convince me of the beauty of the UK's coasts and villages, but, Freddie and Monika thank you!
Sunday morning vibes... Coffee and Dobbs.... Lovely ☕👍
Thank you!🙂
Had great times in Woolacombe as a kid.😊
Lovely stuff. I've only ever passed through Devon to get to Cornwall, so I must go back and explore Devon. It looks every bit as beautiful as Cornwall.
I live in this beautiful part of Devon but have to admit Cornwall is much nicer, even if they do get the jam and cream the wrong way round 😂
Excellent as always 👍
Brilliant vlog, brings back happy holiday memories of going there when I was younger with my parents. Your videos are the perfect remedy for being homesick, three years since we’ve been able to visit home😷 so thank you Freddie and Monika 🇦🇺👍🏼
Home sweet home, nowhere better in the summer.
I'm delighted to hear that, thank you Aidy🙂
I've childhood memories of Woolacombe. Thanks for bringing them back. Looking forward to the next.

Hello Freddie, loved the video, haven't been to that neck of the woods for years brought back wonderful memories.
Great video mate, and yes it is lovely down here I'm blessed to call it home 👍
Love your vlogs . A joy to watch.
Thank you .
Thanks Stephen!🙂
Had bikes through my teens and twenties but then life intervene different ways....now 52 and had not thought about biking until finding this channel recently...now my mind is drifting back and loved the recent videos of the Mutt especially...now stuck in the purgatory of 'I it's too long since I last rode' and 'I need some joy back in my life'!! Damn you Freddie Dobbs!! But irrespective, absolutely love this channel!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm delighted to hear it! I say- jump back in! We are never too old, too young, or too inexperienced to (re)start anything🙂
Monika and Freddie's, Great video showing how beautiful and breathtaking the Uk is. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy your staycation guys.
Just like to thank you for your channel. I've had a tough year and I find your vlogs very peaceful ✌
Good choice of music for the beach scenes. Good all round video again, as always...Thanks.
Really enjoyed that👍
Thanks Freddie & Monika,i enjoyed watching another fab interesting vlog,glad you both caught some good weather aswell,was in Torquay a few months ago for one day & the sea was a stunning turquoise like you found it,happy riding👍🙂
Great tour video. The UK has a lot to offer 👍
I have spent the whole day watching your videos. incredible content. I am planning to move to the UK and do bike trips on the weekends.
Great video Freddie. Coincidently, we seem to visit many of the same places! Keep up the good work, it's been fantastic to see your channel grow.
Never been in England and I'm really enjoying these vlogs!
Excellent video and music Freddie and Monica very relaxing to watch.
Barry
There's a lot of nice areas to explore around Devon and you captured it beautifully in such a short space of time. :)
Glad you both had such a wonderful time, its definitely one of my favourite parts of the world.
Great video. Thanks.
Top man Freddie, great vid
GREAT job you two !!!! Again !! I'm at the point now with your channel where I hit Like before I hit Play. Thank You
Thank you so much!
Congrats on 10k subscribers Freddie, Love Devon 😎
Thanks JB!
Loving the drone shots in this and other videos. Fantastic!
Woolacombe is about a 20 minute ride from me and I work minutes away from that fuel station. In fact you fueled at my usual pump.
I really appreciate where I live. I just got back from a ride to Woolacombe and came through Croyde on my way home.
You must be slightly jealous because I'm actually getting a c90 soon just for the country lanes.
Great video
Fancy seeing you here Mr Epic.
@rob-fb5xs I like Freddies videos. Hay, I actually got the c90 I mentioned 😆 I had it for a month.
Beautiful video s and the places are fabulous and all so clean keep it up thanks to you both
Another great vid and totally agree about quad locks. Use them on all my bikes. Superb bit of kit.
Great photography!
Fab vlog as ever, love Devon used to go to this beach and Bude bit further round in Cornwall when I was a kid :)
Excellent video, great recordings and nice impressions. 👍
Thanks!
This video was amazing! I subscribed for the motorcycle content but the way you guys share your adventures is even more impressive. Good job!
That means a lot, thank you!
I've never visited Devon but have always gone through to holiday in Cornwall, think I will have to change that , looks lovely Freddie
Just discovered your site, excellent. Good filming and commentary,
Love this area....
Wow! Amazing place’ very pretty area . Great video! Wish I could tour there on my Goldwing.. thnk I could live there no problem 👍
I’ve just come across your videos they’re brilliant it makes me wanna get a motorbike again and 52 years old
A beautiful video with great editing - well done Freddie and Monica👍👍🙂
Thanks Dave!
Beautiful bike and modifications mate 🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥 I wish I own it one day
Loved as ever Freddie & Monika 👍 i used to holiday there when i was 7 and remember sitting on the armrest in the middle of the front seats back then as the car was full. Lovely area and keep up the fab work you two. Looking forward to your Tenerife stay! 🙏
Thanks so much!
so cool Freddie
Brings back my childhood memories from staying in Mortehoe near Woolacombe. Lynton and Lynmouth were great to see again too. Cheers F&M
Thanks Freddie, great video and bought back some lovely memories of a holiday to North Devon many moons ago, we did that journey in the dark, no street lighting all the way from South to North, through countryside in pitch black, we got there eventually in one piece though before the days of sat navs and with an old fashioned map! Enjoy the rest of your stay, looking forward to the next vid :)
Thanks Abigail!🙂. I almost can't get my head around travel with no sat nav now!
Compliments to the director, cameraman (woman) and editor. Very well put together. Beautiful location.
Where can I learn to walk like Freddie 😂😂😂!
RTPs have lower gearing for town riding. As well as the panniers being slimmer, they are top-openi g and can be accessed from the saddle. They're also mounted further forward for better weight distribution. I run a 2011 oil-cooled twin-cam - a bit lighter than Barney. Boxers use a bit more oil; typically 100ml/1000 miles.
Great video! 👍
It's like you have been creating travel vedios all your life. Love them ! And the bike
That means a lot, thank you Elliot!
Nice one
I found you through looking up videos about Devon and wow! I love your content! Beautiful relaxing bike rides, gorgeous locations, you have such a lovely energy and personality! I had to click the subscribe button! I'm looking forward to watching more of your fabulous videos! :) xx
This is where the album cover of "A Momentary lapse of reason" was made I think...
Cheers from Algiers.
I love the video editing style ,it is more like a story then a vlog
Thanks!🙂
Just getting back into biking after 28 yrs (68yrs old)and so binging on bike videos, onherbike, itchyboots, and now slowly working my way through your wonderful videos, but how great to Monica on the bike okay only her shadow but a really nice shot. Really enjoying plowing my way through these videos and an inspiration to get out on the bike. If you ever make it to northern Sweden give us a shout always find a bed for you both.
Really I have just got the Benelli and you are single handedly making me wish for a flippin triumph...and it might just happen! Lovely tour as always, look forward to episode 2!
Dartmoor was one of my favourite tours on my bike , enjoy it it’s amazing as is the green laning there
Ahhhh I was wondering about the green laning- I'll try it next time!
So cool seeing you vlog in North Devon, I live directly behind the VW garage so it’s weird seeing it on film! ND sure is amazing 🌞
Great footage !
Thanks!
You have such cool music!
Every time I see you ride off on your own, I’m thinking, noooooooo Monica..
Most excellent viewing.
Fast and Furious reference? If so- I LOVE it!🤣🤣
Loved this video!
I actually live in ilfracombe. 10 mins from woolacombe. It’s my favourite beach. So blessed to live in north Devon. Been watching your videos Freddie and they are great and helpful. I’m thinking about doing my CBT and saving up to buying a mutt mongrel 125. My wife isn’t keen for me to learn though. Thanks your all the tips. Keep up the good content.
As always a stunning video 👌
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thanks very much and I hi over in Denmark!
Wow! I made a motorbike trip this year to Gran Canaria, Mallorca and Rhodes, but this UK coastline is definitely on par!
No way- what an incredible trip- that is HUGE!!!
Lovely video, brings back memories of when I was your age, back in the nineties I had a Suzuki intruder 800 that would ride to the beach with my girlfriend. BTW every time I see you I think of actor Paul Bettani.Cheers from Brazil.
Thanks so much! I have had a few Paul Bettany comments!😆
The more cafe videos I see, the more I realize that I need to sell my zx6r.. speed is fun, but I'm more about THIS lifestyle. Thanks for the upload man, ride safe.
Another stonking job guy's wonderful scenery just luv sitting with my caramel latte watching you guys chilling in great places .Just think pretty soon your gonna be waking up to sunshine like this virtually every day in Tenerife you lucky people I reckon you guys will not be coming back cos I certainly wouldn't . : D
Thank you Malcolm! I am quite curious to see how I'll feel after a few months in Tenerife!:)
@@FreddieDobbs From what I have seen the roads are fantastic for bikes and the weather sublime I am soooo jealous ha : D
Hi Freddie & Monika. Certainly GB is amazing when the sun is shining and you picked a lovely place to visit. Of course I’m going to say Cornwall is more spectacular, because I live there. But Devon also has its highlights. I was at the Bideford Bike show yesterday on the quayside. Really nice ride from South East Cornwall and found some great routes.
I can't argue with you- Cornwall is a stunner of a location!😍. I've heard of the Bideford Bike Show- I hope it was a good'n!
Wonderful video as always. I finished day one of my MSF basic rider course. Today is day two. Much harder than I thought it was going to be coordinating clutch and throttle but I'm having so much fun. Can't wait to pass and get my license so I can become one of the Triumph tribe.
Fantastic! I found it very hard too- it took me about three months after passing to become "fluent"- ie not think about every element (brake, clutch, accelerator etc). It just gets more and more fun. I wish you the very best of luck!🙂
@@FreddieDobbs thank you Freddie. I passed so I’m excited to go to the next stage. Buy a bike and PRACTICE. Triumph Street Twin all the way.
Love your channel Freddie & Monica. My back is out so the Moto Guzzi has been sitting in the garage for three weeks. Your videos have been keeping me going. Thank you & cheers! 👌
I hope you're on the mend now and get a few more rides before the cold sets in! And delighted you're enjoying the content, thank you!:)
@@FreddieDobbs thank you 👍
I was there last week. I kept on wishing I had my bike with me!
You got a like in the first minute or so, with the view out of the window saying it is a beautiful day.❤️
Thanks Walter!:)
Hi Freddie - just came across your channel with your Bike Shed vlog - your editing is top notch and style of vlogging is really great entertainment, and as someone who lives in Cornwall North Devon really is biking Navarna!
Thanks Andy!:)
Well much as a campervan is awsome a bike yu can stop anywhere I've toured devon cornwall on bike and would not like to do it in 4wheels..atb superb vid
I completely agree- we saw so many camper vans getting painfully stuck down those tight country lanes!
@@FreddieDobbs yeah sir we have same issues here in Cumbria lake district time for highways to widen roads...cheers
great video Freddie, last time i went to Woolacombe beach was the summer of 76 scorching hot and then we went shark fishing cos Jaws had come out
Woooooow- amazing insight, thank you for sharing!
Welcome to my village 😀
Now a little lesson on blackberry's. There ripe when black! Not red . He he. Great video Fred.
🤣
Down in our neck of the woods. Its interesting to see how impressed people are by whats around here, i guess we take it for granted when we can go ride devon and cornwall every weekend, but instead we fly and hire in other countries! We will try and focus our videos on Devon and cornwall rides this year to share with everyone the areas beauty. Cheers for the Video Freddie, Ride safe
Just found your channel Freddie and loving the content. Fellow Bonnie owner but found your channel looking for reviews on Mutts as my son is looking for a 125. Love Devon. Spent many a happy holiday in Exmouth as a child.
Thank you for the support! What a first bike choice- I LOVE the Mutts!
Woolabombe? Sounds a bit explosive! 😁😁 Great vid as always!
PS: The island out to sea off Woolacombe is called Lundy Island.
Thanks Chris- that's it- Lundy Island! So much history for such a tiny island!
If you and Monika don’t one day open a coffee shop I’ll be disappointed, you guys have done so much market research already! Guaranteed to be the greatest coffee shop
I completely agree! I would love to one day!👌☕️
I’m new at your Channel and i just want to tell you, that it is a very cool channel. Keep the good work.
Really appreciate it, thanks Jeison!🙂
Magic Freddie 🙂
Thanks Chris!
Several places not included in this video. Morte Point is a great hike from the village of Morthoe. Rock promontory like the spine of a dragon points out to sea. Seals can be seen lounging on the rocks. Ilfracombe promenade and harbour definitely worth a visit. Wildersmouth Beach has a 10ft tide and provides the opportunity to get up close to rocks of the Devonian period. Just outside of Lynton is the Valley Of The Rocks. Most stunning coastal cliff path I've yet seen. And plenty of goats. The Pack Of Cards Inn in Coombe Martin is an interesting pub. Lymouth beach is the result of past flash flooding down the valleys. Lynton down to Lynmouth is super steep. Lots of other places worth visiting along that coastline. But can be expensive and parking difficult during busy times. When I drove back on a bank holiday I passed a 40 mile queue of traffic across Devon and Dorset.
I miss the UK.
hi freddie, ive been to uk once very long time ago, just to let you know i like your channel, thanks for sharing, btw i ride motorcycles too
Thanks for the support Juan! Happy riding!:)
We have a motorhome for our travels. Garage in the rear to put the motorcycle indoors. Take your hotel with you, unload the bike and we’re off! You’d love it.😊👍
That sounds superb!!
Crackin video....triumph has character but, you pair are far beyond that.
You need to tour round beauty spots on hd V twin.....
Will make the superb unbeatable 😉🥂
Having watched this I feel I’ve been on holiday. 🙂
Know the feeling. We live about 20 minutes drive from Lynmouth so quite often drive there after work on Friday evenings and have fish and chips sitting on the sea wall. Feels like a mini holiday.
Hi , nice guest house ,a bargain at the price for the time of the year . Monika and Grommet on the combo , a little wide for filtering in London . Magic video and a story told and did Suzie make up her mind ? . Ride and stay safe .
Thanks very much! I was very happy with my accommodation choice! I really hope Suzie eventually made her mind up!😆
