Plymouth (an hours drive or 40 minutes train from Totnes, which is a 20 min drive from the house) has just opened ‘the box museum and art gallery’ which is part of a major £40 million redevelopment scheme for the city’s regeneration. The city’s hoe area has great views for walks by the sea and leads down to the Barbican area which is full of restaurants and bars situated next to the famous Mayflower steps where the pilgrims set sail for America. The Royal William yard is also an incredible place for dining by the sea with views over to Cornwall. When the weather is good, it is possible to catch a small fishing boat ferry from here over to the Cornish fishing village of Cawsand which is a beautiful charming little village to explore.
