Great circular and coast path walks from here. Plus the castle itself is worth a visit. The cafe is one of my favourite habits to just sit, have a coffee and watch the boats sailing into and out of the harbour. Lots of lovely snack meals, cakes and pastries there. This really is a big favourite of mine. Watch out for the hungry seagulls, their table manners are not great!!!

Totnes is a town full of character. It has many quirky and interesting shops and lots of lovely places to eat. There are a several vegan, vegetarian and whole food outlets. The cinema is worth a visit for a completely different experience from your normal cinema popcorn and plush seating.

This is another great place for Paddleboarding, but also just a bit of sightseeing. The village is small. But quite quaint and fun.
