Devon anyone

[bovered79]

Just wondering if anywone had been to Torquay in Devon thinkin about taking them mrs down there for here birthday and just wondering if it is any good

[Raggyman]

Yup, it is awesome, but roads are a nightmare in Summer down that way..

I recommend Rhineland in Germany, you can then pop into the Nurberg for a quick stint around the toll road there..
Also very nice, not so many cars on the roads etc. Plus you can get 100 octane at Shell there for less than £1!
£45 return on Norfolkline ferry.

Have to agree there, I often stay at the Royal Castle Hotel, a most enjoyable experience right on the waterfront, arriving by ferry adds to the atmosphere too, very, very busy at Carnival time

Dartmouth is lovely - also try Salcombe, just down the coast. Beautiful scenery, great place for sitting at the Ferry Steps Inn, taking in the views & watching expensive life float by. Marine Hotel is possibly the best hotel in Salcombe.

Oh - and the buildings on Fore Street will vibrate like mad with the thunder of V8

I live in Salcombe - Torquay is a bit more lively with clubs etc and the normaln hooligans associated with that sort of place - very busy as is anywhere at bank holidays and summer holidays - Dartmouth is quieter (no nightclubs) and altogether a slower pace. Salcombe is great - 4 pubs and quite small, there is a club in Kingsbridge if you're desperate for a late drink, but it's full of teenagers!

Just got back from a week in Sidmouth, was lovely, pity the roads are only about 5ft wide and I took my van full of mountain bikes and baby gear which is about 6ft wide - I now have bushes growing from my wing mirrors now nice part of the world though and everyone is so friendly !
