Bucks Mills

Wonderful Bucks!

My mum first came across Bucks Mills when we went for a bodyboarding holiday in Westward Ho! before the march of the mobile homes..!

I have stayed in Bucks  many times since with friends and family and then with my own wife and children. It holds a magical attraction for me and holds my happiest memories from childhood.

My Home

I lived in the cottage at the right hand end of this picture, from 1987 to 1999, it made us sad when we had to leave.
