Out of all of my recent day trips around Devon, I think Brixham has been my favourite so far. Brixham is a little harbour town with a really unique feel and PLENTY of photo-taking opportunities (I went a bit mad on this one).
Brixham doesn’t have its own train station, so we got the train to Paignton and the number 12 bus on to Brixham (luckily, this bus goes every 10 minutes). (more…)
Another lovely part of Devon I visited recently was Dawlish, a town on the south coast of Devon. This was actually part of a society walk from Dawlish to Dawlish Warren (around 5 miles I think), but we had some free time at the end to stay on the beach. 5 miles isn’t too draining, however, walking through sand dunes is surprisingly challenging with walking boots on- you kind of end up walking like your feet are in bricks rather than boots. Not exactly the beach babe look you want (more like some idiot dressed all in black on a sunny day sweating their ass off as they try to climb the sand dunes) but oh well. (more…)
This week I visited Totnes as part of my aim to see as much of Devon as I can before I leave university (I can’t believe how quickly it’s come around). There are loads of lovely little towns in Devon, as well as beautiful countryside like Dartmoor and Exmoor, so it’s a really amazing place to explore. I’m determined not to spend my last term stuck in my room (although I have to admit, the temptation to just sleep all day is strong), as, in my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful parts of England.

Being an English student, I spend most of my time reading and my weekends are usually occupied with making my way through a novel (that and sleeping until noon every day obviously). However, I am also part of the “Out of Doors” society, meaning that when I can sacrifice a day’s work, I get to jump on a coach or train and walk around the Devon/Cornwall/Dorset countryside. (more…)
