Finch's Foundry and Lydford Gorge, Dartmoor, Devon - 12th August 2016

It's the last full day in Devon, so we haul Grandma J out for a trip to Finch Foundry in the quaintly-named village of Sticklepath, on the way to Okehampton. That's followed up by a trip to the White Lady waterfall at Lydford Gorge - the deepest gorge in the South West. Finally, Isobel and The Boys are dropped off at Stansted Airport as they head off to Ireland for a week. It's all go...
