Goats at the Valley of Rocks

We went over to Lynton and Lynmouth today and took a walk around the Valley of Rocks.  It's full of the most interesting smells you could imagine.....but to start with I heard something over the wall

and discovered these chaps

the Wild Goats of the Valley of Rocks..... I don't think they should have been in this field.  The local residents tend to be very upset at times when the goats get into their allotments or gardens.  Further down the road we found another herd of them in the car park

and mum did a little video, although she apologises for filming into the sun, obviously not ideal, but the goats would have made off sooner ....

they are quite inquisitive and when I get closer to them instead of running away some of them stop to look at me, but they never get really close

and when we left and walked back into Lynton we saw one balanced on the top of a bank

next time I'll show you some pictures of Lynmouth which is the twin town
