Growing Up In The Castle Rock Hotel
A Memory of Mortehoe.
I grew up in Woolacombe and Mortehoe but my most vivid memories was living in the bungalow of Castle Rock, scrambling down the cliffs to Combesgate Beach with my surf board from Bert Yoe's. My parents, the Gandertons had bought the hotel after the war & worked like mad during the summer months, with lots of returning guests who often became good friends too. Many scenic walks on Morte Point sometimes in howling gales or warm sunshine but always with magnificent views. Even returning in 1994, everything looked the same, thanks mostly to the National Trust. Lots of lovely warm memories to enjoy now from my present home in sunny California! Jennifer
