Scheduled to spend a couple of weeks there from this weekend. Anyone got some ideas on what to do / where to visit (that does not involve sea fishing!). Might visit Beer - that was nice.

Beer is not South Devon

Visit Slapton Sands and the rlRSPB reserve Slapton Leyrl, that's a good way to spend a day, then up the road to the excellent rlTower at Slaptonrl.

Fine beer garden at rlThe Old Innrl in the middle of Dartmoor.

rlTotnes Rare Breeds Farmrl coupled with South Devon Steam Railway

I'm certainly hoping to get to some birding sites - if the 3 women let me! I'll look up the oyher suggestions - thanks.

Where is South Devon?

Just down from North Devon.

If you do go to Slapton (and you should), there's also the Tank Monument, in recognition of the US servicement lost during rehersals for D-Day. Make sure you eat at least once at The Start Bay Inn, you'd struggle to find fresher seafood (the chef buys from a boat on the beach), certainly great value for money. A little further down the coast you'll come across Hallsands: a villae that was literally swept into the sea

Visit Totnes and walk around the town that told Tesco to fook off. Nearby you'll find Buckfastleigh, buy a bottle of Buckie and sit on a park bench, pretending to be Glaswegian

There are plenty of good coastal walks, google really can be your friend

Brixham and Salcombe are very nice. Was in Brixham myself a few weeks ago. The breakwater there (which is huge) was built in WWII for the embarkation of a US Infantry division onto their ships for D-Day.

This is the one I was thinking of: www.crabhousecafe.co.uk Have you been there?

Bigbury on Sea is my favourite place in the world.

Just don't get caught on Burgh Island

We went to South Devon in June and we visited Bigbury, Salcombe, Plymouth, Dartmoor and Torquay, the latter was more to say I've been and I've never seen a place with so many zimmer frames

There is a small village on Dartmoor called Widdecombe on the Moor which was very pretty. If you go to Plymouth try and eat at Capn Jaspers on the front. You have a choice of half a yard or a yard of hotdog.

Salcombe was lovely. We took the dogs on the beach around from the bay first, then drove to the main village (a lot of people walk) and had a superb pub lunch.

Beer is East Devon

South Devon starts around Totnes and goes errrrrrmmmmm south from there

The Rugglestone Inn there is well worth a visit.
