Vast landscapes, brooding storms and an abundance of wildlife; Dartmoor covers some 368 square miles and is oneof the UK’s last remaining true wildernesses. Beautiful scenery abounds and every season brings its own delights andcolours.

It is the perfect place to get away from it all. Time stalked tors - Dartmoor’s dramatic exposed granite hilltops -dominate the skyline and snake right across the National Park.The night skies are crystal clear and perfect for star gazing.

The high ground of Dartmoor forms the catchment area for many of Devon's rivers.As well as shaping the landscape,these have traditionally provided a source of power for moor industries such as tin mining and quarrying, the scarsfrom both can be seen right across the moor. Some of the Bronze Age hut circles are over 3,000 years old and thereare ruined 18th century engine houses scattered across the moor.

Farming is the main industry now.As well as the herds of Ruby Red cattle and hardy sheep grazing freely, the famousDartmoor ponies are a familiar and much loved sight. At almost every turn there are stunning views and theopportunity for an invigorating walk. Rock climbing, trekking, fishing or kayaking down any number of rivers like theDart orTavy are also very popular with more active visitors.

The diversity of Dartmoor provides an abundance of great days out and special places to explore.There are plentyof interesting towns encircling Dartmoor that provide a pleasant respite from the wild, untamed moorlands.Tavistockis a charming ancient stannary town brimming with shops and reputed to be the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake.

The Campaign for the Protection of Rural England rate it as the Best Market Town in the country and its Victorianarchitecture attracts a discerning food and art loving crowd. Other towns worth visiting include Buckfastleigh,Ashburton,Chagford and Mortonhamstead. Princetown, the highest settlement on the moor, is famous for its legendary‘Jail Ale’ and imposingVictorian Prison.There are also plenty of NationalTrust properties located near to these townsincluding the dramatic Lydford Gorge, Castle Drogo, Buckland Abbey and Cothele House.

Centrally located to discover all of these and an excellent base for exploring the rest of the moor is Prince Hall Hotel.Run by Fi & Chris Daily (pictured) this eight bedroom hotel is not only the perfect, welcoming bolthole to enjoy anddiscover Dartmoor from, it is also extremely dog friendly, renowned for it’s food and well suited for trying any numberof outdoor pursuits. Also worth investigating are the delightful Lydgate House (pictured opposite) at Postbridge,Browns HotelTavistock,Two Bridges Hotel, Glazebrook House and of course the superb Gidleigh Park. beautiful BoveyCastle, 22 Mill Street in Chagford andTheWhite Hart Hotel at Moretonhampstead are also great choices

East Devon remains somewhat of a well-kept secret, andone of my favourite places is Budleigh Salterton – whichis something of an undiscovered gem.

The beach is a lovely stretch of pebbles, flanked by distinctive redcliffs on one side and the River Otter on the other, with a quaint butpractical high-street that runs parallel to the sea.

First things first, don’t be put off by the pebbles, which for one thingmakes it a great beach for swimming. It’s not unusual to spothardened Budleigh swimmers braving the water most days,regardless of weather, and it is a popular spot for festive Christmasand NewYear’s Day swims - fun to watch even if you’re too chickento join in.

Kids don’t seem to mind the pebbles either, and building pebbletowers is almost as much fun as sandcastles, plus the lack of sandmakes it much more food-friendly so its great for picnics and BBQs.

In winter Budleigh can be a sleepy kind of town but as summerapproaches Budleigh transforms in to a bustling little place, full withfamilies who have enjoyed holidaying there for generations, and nowbring their little ones to enjoy much the same delights as they did.

And it’s this combination of old school charm and Budleigh’s slightlyeccentric locals that helps entice visitors to return, time and timeagain - which is wonderful, but please just don’t go telling everyone…

Kate

Walk from Budleigh beachalong the River Otter toOtterton Mill – and reward yourself with a cream tea.

Budleigh has a great little high street full of independentretailers - so avoid the supermarket and ‘shop local’ atthe butchers, fishmongers and bakery. There’s also agreat selection of boutiques, gift shops and art galleries– tryThe Brook Gallery, and Plume.

The Creamery – put simply, the best ice-cream around.

Relatively new and a real addition to the high street – try Ocean House, a great café, with modern décorand great for lunch or coffee.

For the freshest fish go and see gorgeous ‘Dave The Fish’ - look out for his distinctive flag flying on thebeach.

Kate runs the Cottage Company Devon –managing a selection of hand-picked holidaycottages in East Devon, and has a rentalsoffice and shop in Budleigh Salterton, see:www.thecottagecompanydevon.co.uk.

Head Chef Hadleigh Barrett has beencooking top notch local ingredients at CombeHouse Devon for several years. He isparticularly keen to serve spring lamb,properly hung at the appropriate time, andsources his locally from East Devon farms.Early spring lamb has a delicate, pale andtender meat with a fine grain and whitecrumbly fat to keep it succulent.

Ken and Ruth Hunt, owners of CombeHouse Devon, an award-winning countryhouse hotel, have been passionate about theprovenance of the produce that makes itsway into the kitchen from the day that itarrives at Combe. More than a decade later,they have a dedicated team of local suppliersand the hotel’s walled garden produces 40per cent of the fresh vegetables, soft fruit andherbs used in the kitchen - from chervil andbasil to broad beans, redcurrants andgooseberries.

This is an excellent dish for entertaining friends and it is always verypopular at our restaurant. It really champions the excellent Pork we havein this country and especially in the South Hams in general.The walnutherb crust would also work well with a rack of lamb or a goats cheese.

South Devon has been attracting visitors for over 250 years- pretty river estuaries, rolling hills and top outdoor activitiesmake this an amazing holiday destination. In particular theSouth Hams region includes the beautiful coastal towns ofSalcombe and Dartmouth with their own spectacular viewsand scenery. The market towns of Kingsbridge, Totnes,Modbury and Newton Abbot have their own very specialcharacter, charms and attractions.They all pride themselvesin the warm welcome they extend to every visitor.

Salcombe is a laid back, friendly and attractive small town inan estuary setting, with an array of interesting shops andactivities in the area that are boundless.You can learn to sail,hire a dinghy, go scuba diving, canoeing or kayaking, go cyclingor horse riding, fishing or power boating or if that all soundstoo much like hard work then you could just choose to laze on one of the lovely surroundingbeaches. You’ll also find fabulous pubs, coffee shops and restaurants to relax in and refresh readyfor the rest of the day or evening.

The estuary is bordered by magnificent cliffs which form part of the SouthWest Coastal Path wellloved by walkers throughout the year. If you are fit, it’s a wonderful walk from Bolt Head (West ofSalcombe) to Hope Cove, passing through Soar Mill Cove - a sheltered and unspoilt cove on to andover Bolberry Down. An easy walk following on from Hope Cove along the coastal path isThurlestone which has great beaches and certainly some of the best for rock pooling! FromThurlestone you can continue on to Bantham with its famous surfing beach and a little further onis Bigbury with a view of the famous hotel on Burgh Island.

The South Hams area offers every kind of accommodation, from great pubs with accommodation,a variety of Bed and Breakfast establishments, self catering, Caravan Parks and some exceedinglysmart Hotels that offer something for young and more mature visitors alike. In keeping with SouthDevon in general you’ll find a wide range of outlets providing great local produce as often as theyare able. Nothing beats Devon Crab and in particular Salcombe Crab - you’d find it difficult to getbetter! Then there is the wide range of local ice-creams – thick, creamy and full of flavour. Theargument of Devon Cream teas versus Cornish continues – but we urge you to come and choosefor yourself.

With excellent transport links, no worries about delayed flights or fluctuating exchange rates, theSouth Hams area is the perfect holiday destination.

Brixham Pollockwith parsley, caper and egg sauce

This is a good old fashioned recipe that my nan used tocook for me although I’m not sure whether she ever usedPollock. This dish works with any white fleshed fish so makeuse of whiting, haddock, even smoked haddock or gurnard.Everyone I’ve cooked this dish for absolutely loves it, it ispure comfort food and ideal for those who think they don’tlike fish.

You will need800 g Pollock fillet, skinned

400ml milk50g butter

1 onion, finely sliced2.5 tbsps flour

Good handful of choppedparsley

1 tbsp finely chopped capers1tsp English mustard2 hard boiled eggsSalt and pepper

Serves 4To make, poach the Pollock fillets in the milk very gently for6-7 minutes then remove from the heat. Soften the onionsin the butter until soft and translucent, add the flour andcook for a minute or two. Slowly pour on the milk untilyou have a sauce of double cream consistency. Add theparsley, capers and flake in the fish. Peel and slice the boiledeggs, add them to the sauce, season with salt and blackpepper and serve with creamy mashed potato and peas orbroad beans. A nice little twist on this is to add a few bitsof bacon.

“I have only been living in Devon for 4years but holidayed here every year asa child and have had a long associationwith the fishing community – thefishermen and buyers - since openingmy first fishmongers in Bath over 14years ago. I have to say I absolutely loveit here. I’m always amazed at the everchanging scenery outside of my windowhere in Brixham and when I drive intothe South Hams looking for a goodwalk or a pub there is a new discoveryevery time. I moved to Brixhambecause of my love of fish and thebeauty if the town, true it needs a littlework and a few more traders but theywill come, the community here isfabulous and if the plans for theredevelopment of the town all go aspromised then it will be the gem ofTorbay and probably Devon. What ismy view like? Well as a fishmonger andseafood restaurateur it couldn’t bebetter really. My office in the houselooks directly over the water to theBrixham fish market. In the earlymornings, through the mist or first ofthe sunshine, I can see the day boatsand beam trawlers coming in to theport to land their catch. Between themarket and my house is the marina withall the beautiful yachts and little woodenboats moored in neat rows, the gentlerhythmic ringing of the halyards againstthe masts and the splash of water risingand falling as the swell increases fromthe boats crossing the deeper waters. Itravel over to my restaurants inDartmouth,The Seahorse and RockFishSeafood & Chips using the ferrycrossing the water between Kingswearand Dartmouth – what better way tostart the day?

There are many historical and cultural links toThe English Riviera too. QueenVictoria enjoyed a trip hereand it became so fashionable that it was incorporated into manyVictorian and Edwardian ‘GrandTours’.It was also once home to the world famous crime writer,Agatha Christie, who based many of her novelson locations around the area. Her home, Greenway, set in its own beautiful woodland gardens, is nowopen to the public, thanks toThe NationalTrust.One of the best ways to get there is by the special ferrythat stops right on Greenway Quay.

There are plenty of other attractions to be explored too - such as the award-winning Paignton Zoo,TorreAbbey and Babbacombe ModelVillage - and train journeys by the Dartmouth Steam Railway, which runsalong the coast between Paignton and Dartmouth.
