Newton Ferrers & Noss Mayo
Newton and Noss
Newton and Noss
Facing each other
The river across
Ferrers and Mayo
The hamlets a-twin
Peaceful by nature
The valley within
Joined by the water
Each day's rise and fall
Linked by a parish
That speaks for them all
Dinghies criss-crossing
Their motors a-purr
Canoeists and boarders
To yachtsmen defer
Homes on the hillsides
Sharing the views
Lanes running narrow
That bring summer queues
A haven for sailors
With boats safely moored
And ideal to visit
With memories stored.
