come holidaying in devon.

emmie by emmie Talking Back(June 2007) (rank 27th)

Torquay

Torquay is a quiet town within south devon, in the town area you have all the shopping places , casinos , there is a beach at the end of town this is torquay sea front / harbour , where you can hire boats out, sweet and toy

stall , pubs and resturants, sometimes mainly in the summer they will hold fayres and holiday attractions. In the summer time even though i said it was a quiet town in the summer you often see lots of tourists about and gets very hectic.

You also have babbacombe which is also a very nice little area, there you have 2 beaches , there is  this little place where everything is so little called model village , that is a amazing place to go into it really i s nice there.there are a feew other tourist attraction over there too.

cockington is a lovely lace if you like the quiet relaxing and pretty places , you often see alot of horses and such like animals in cockington pretty little parks its more like the country than a town its very nice i would love to live there .

Exeter

Exeter is more busy than torquay and paignton this is more of a city , where you have colleges uni's and its where most go for a day out shopping.

It is more a working town too but it is a really nice area to be it is very big i still get lost myself lol.But there are few tourist attractions there

paignton

Paignton is pretty much like torquay, with lots of tourist attractions, apart from i think thres are only 4 hills(less beaches) . The seafront in paignton is beautifull and usually in the summer they have fayres, car shows , bike shows and much more scross from the seafront is all or most of paigntons bed and brekfast and hotels.

there are lots of holiday shops in paignton in the main area of paigntonalong with the food clothes and toy shops.

sorry i haent wrote much about devon , but i have only lived herre a couple of yrs , but thanks for listening.

Re: come holidaying in devon.

Sounds like a great place to visit and also pretty. Have always wanted to visit UK as my husband Steve comes from there. I would like see where he was born and take a trip up the canals in one of the boats you can stay on, maybe one day. I love the stories he tells me of all the little villages and how beautiful they are.

Thanks Janice

Yay

South Devon was my second home growing up. My best friend, the one who now lives in Australia, was born and raised in Brixham.

Thanks for the memories

caravan curmudgeon

It was some anniversary of caravanning yesterday, which meant there were stories all over the radio and newspaper extolling the joys of caravanning.
I always seem to get stuck behind them on the way down to Cornwall... much better if our jolly grockels rent a static one on-site so they can zoom down the A30 at a decent speed, unencumbered by a rocking tin hut behind them.
