Hmmm, I favour Devon, as I have a fondness for the south coast especially around Start Bay. It is, however a bit of a bu99er to drive around, as the roads from Bovey Tracey are all singletrack, (appropriately), and there’s twenty miles of that to Beesands, where I stayed in the pub. http://www.thecricketinn.com/ in case you’re interested. Believe me, the food is outstanding, the beer is excellent, and the rooms are as nice as they look. Nigel’s a good landlord, I was down there three weeks ago for a week, and last year for the first week in October, and had a fantastic time. Great walks all along the coast path from Slapton Sands and Torcross via Beesands through Hallsands, round Start Point to Lannacombe Bay to East Prawle. Kingsbridge and Salcombe aren’t far away, neither’s Dartmouth.

North Devon, definitely.

Looking along Beesands beach, the pub is next to the furthest right white building. You can just see the sign. My room was the other side of the pub sign, so I had a great view out of the window.

Pics were taken the last week in September.

I’m going to Salcombe on Saturday for a week 🙂 can’t wait

North Devon, the most beautiful place I know.
Yes I have been to other places.

Where was the first pic taken Slugwash?

Go careful there, I grew in the interior of cornwall. You are right mind. Nothing romantic or picturesque about a night shift in the open cast mine I used to work in.

I’d stick to devon, there’s too many english people in cornwall already.

Cornwall is for Surf boards and second rate rugby. For EVERYTHING else, it’s Devon….including “proper MTBing”
Not that I’m bias or anything.
Only thing they get right in Kernow is Jam first then Cream!

Cream the jam. Heathen!

South Devon, especially East Portlemouth, is terrible don’t go the, seriously……… 🙂

On another note, from Cannock, why not try Northumberland? Glorious place!
