There is a splendid array of charming market towns to explore in South Devon. Towns such as Ashburton, Kingsbridge and Totnes provide a mixture of history, culture, markets and antique shops to explore. There are many pubs and restaurants to choose from, and events that occur throughout the year.
Totnes is a fascinating town, steeped in history. It has a reputation for being bohemian and attracting alternative lifestyles. There are many examples of properties in Totnes dating back to Norman and Medieval times.
Totnes Castle is the centre point of the town. It is a Norman castle with superb views over the rooftops. There is a unique atmosphere in Totnes, and it is a lovely place to spend your time. Summer market days include special Elizabethan days with market traders in full costume.
No trip to Devon is complete, of course, without a traditional Devon cream tea. There are many little villages with local teahouses.
If you enjoy golf or fishing, there are several places nearby to meet your needs, and some of the golf courses have amazing views.
