Hi all,

As above, I'm thinking of relocating to Devon from SW london. Mainly for the quieter lifestyle compared to living near to London. I'm thinking of moving to somewhere outside of Exeter as I'm thinking I might be able to secure some work in one of the bigger towns down there (working in IT). Is the cost of living much different? I'd also like to be nearer to some Martial Arts gyms as thats what I spend most of my spare time doing. I've visited different areas of Devon quite a few times growing up but never lived there long term. I currently own a property in SW London so would be selling and purchasing. Are there any suggestions other than Exeter that would be suitable for the above?

Not that I'm looking for them, just curious

Anybody seen any of these QR codes around (anywhere, I travel a lot with work so not an issue)? Would love to send one to my nan.

Researching Coleridge (from Ottery) right now. He was born in 1772 and had a Devon accent his entire life. Wondering what that would have sounded like. Any chance somebody here can point me in the right direction? i.e. a book of historical linguistics that reconstructs this dialect.

Always a fun night 😊

Any recommendations for a south Devon beach with a decent cafe or fish and chips that will be open weekday lunchtimes? Ideally somewhere that’s a less than 30 minute easy drive from Plymouth. Cheers!

Driving from Bristol to Plymouth tomorrow, any recommendations on somewhere not too far from the M5/A38 that I can stop by for a decent coffee and maybe some lunch? Ideally no more than 10minutes or so from the main road, and good. Not interested in a Costa or Starbucks etc.

I've been learning Spanish for a year in duo lingo, which has been ok, but I'm thinking I want to try more effective lessons. I've looked at South Devon and Exeter college and neither have courses anytime soon. Can anybody recommend a place to learn Spanish around Newton/Exeter/even Plymouth as long as its an evening course. Gracias!

Hi, I'm new to Devon and looking for something a little different and special to give as gifts this Christmas. If anyone has any recommendations for local craft distilleries who make something special I'd love to hear them.

In terms of trade, I can offer you a recommendation of the Black Mountain Botanicals Distiller's Cut. Which is an exceptional choice from the Welsh borders. Link in comments, I'm not affiliated, just a fan.

I'm in Paignton Torquay Brixham next week and looking for something close that I can explore and take video/pictures off.

Anything from churches, to national trust, gardens and even abandoned. I'm happy to experience most ideas and places.

I have a car so able to drive a little but not far.

Cheers.

Accidentally booked to go see the carnival instead of the tar barrels, oops! How lame is it going to be?

Ps have all of Saturday and Sunday in the area, any suggestions of cool places to visit and/or walks to go on?

Taken 11am this morning on my phone.

Just been to the first performance of this in the Exeter Northcott Theatre. Excellent fun - do yourself a favour and grab a ticket!

Hi All,

I’m not from the area - but I’ll be visiting Dartmoor for the first time soon for an art residency and have some free time afterwards and will be travelling via Exeter.

I don’t drive :( so I’m a bit limited. But I have the gift of time for once. I’m interested in landscapes, ancient sites, history and folklore. I was wondering whether anyone could give me some recs on things to do, that can be day trips or even a few days 😊 google is a bit overwhelming so I’d appreciate any tips! I’ve never been down those ways before so all new to me. Thank you!

From Saxon to Late Medieval and beyond, all styles are here in this beautiful church lying in a pretty valley wandering down to the sea.

The design and history fascinates, from the Norman tower onwards lots of little and big wonders, and the play of light on wood and stone… The whole is fabulous.

A major Devon church, deservedly so, and my latest online article and gallery here to enjoy, as you will: https://devonchurchland.co.uk/description/branscombe-church-of-st-winifred-description/

Hi guys, I’m thinking of buying land in east Devon not to far from honiton - 8.5 acres with Mains water and available road frontage the land is pasture and moorland.

How easy will it be to get planning permission for a residential and a commercial building?
