Funny just talking about Woolacombe as a guy at work has just had a holiday there and I went a few years ago. I was telling him about some old railway carriages, he looked at me blankly so we started looking and found it to be the old Mortehoe and Woolacombe railway station, at the time I went there, maybe ten or more years ago, it was known as "Once Upon A Time", never went there but its now gone. I remember going to a museum, which I thought was in Woolacombe but might have been Ilfracombe, where you could hear an old Train Driver telling a tale about a train running away down the steep incline down into Ilfracombe, apparently it was one of the steepest inclines in the country something like 1 in 36, I think the old railway line is now the Tarka Trail or something where people can walk or cycle along the old railway line. We stopped at a camp site over looking Woolacombe and you could walk down to the beach through a little village, can't remember the name but it was a popular spot to stop and have an ice cream in the gate way to the church.
