The grand North Devon coast is good rambling country amidst traditional fishing villages and coves. Clovelly with its steep winding cobbled street is the most famous and busiest. Lynton and Lynmouth, the ‘gateway to Exmoor’, are a good base to explore the nearby Porlock area where there are good walks and the pristine thatched National Trust village of Selworthy. Inland is mainly agricultural although there are places of interest such as Tiverton, South Molton as well as Tamar Lakes and Rosemoor Gardens.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
