Beer is East Devon



South Devon starts around Totnes and goes errrrrrmmmmm south from there

Quote Dally="Dally"This is the one I was thinking of: www.crabhousecafe.co.uk Have you been there?'" At those prices? £19.25 for a crab? I bought two lobsters and three crabs for that a couple of weeks ago Lyme Regis is close and all bars and restaurants there are a rip-off. Mark Hix has a place at West Bay (Bridport) but if you do go to Beer, see Cyril's brother (skipper of Blue Lady) and buy your shellfish & fish from him. Cheap as chips. I've no idea whether Hugh Fernley-Fishingstall has re-opened the Canteen in Axminster yet, following a fire last year

The Rugglestone Inn there is well worth a visit.

is the hairdresser's training centre still there?

We stayed in Torquay a couple of nights as the wife wanted to show the kids one of the places she holidayed in when she was a kid herself. There is a country park a couple of miles away where she also spent many hours as a child, Cockington, and it is well worth a visit. If people are into their crafts there are some genuine artisans making stuff in the craft centre (not people who bought a "how to make a tacky jewellery kit"icon_wink.gif.







Yes Salcombe is very nice. Brixham which I mentioned previously has a pebble beach just next to the breakwater in the harbour and there is a cafe that does the usual takeaway burgers and stuff by my wife said the crab salad was one of the best she had had while we had been away. Not expensive either if I recall correctly.

Avoid Blackpool sands beach - It aint sandy!!! You dont know that though till you have been in the shop and purchased a bucket and spade (After £7 parking)

Eh?



There's plenty of sand at Blackpool Sands

Its alright you lot talking about bloody holidays, I've still got 20 days to take this year and only October and November to take them in, AND I'll never agree with this bloody woman as to where we should go, I'm sort of resigned to losing those holiday and just continuing on this 12/14 treadmill until three days off at christmas

tbf it's shingle really

the SW coastal path from hope cove to bantham is stunning(TBH most of the path is stunning) and well worth the walk if you are fit and into walking. south molton beach is a lovely place to stop for a break and swim/paddle.

It's good that everyone is offering Dally suggestions of where to visit in South Devon.



It's just a pity that the stupid old bugger didn't realise he wasn't actually staying in South Devon

Was definitely shingle when i was there last month







Bantham beach on the other hand is superb.
