As north Devon is my most favourite place in the UK, I hadn't explored much of the south coast. So a friend recommended going to Beer.
Driving towards Beer we decided to turn a random right. By going off the beaten track to avoid tourist traffic we ended up in a tiny village called Colyton.
Just so happens there was a vintage car festival!
Finally got to beer.
...just enough time for a couple of snaps and the best fish and chips I have ever eaten!
As I'm from Luton I felt like I had to represent the roots!
I occasionally go back home, to see my dearest family and friends. So this occasion happened to be the Luton Carnival weekend.
I loved it!
The costumes were simply inspiring, the food was just sexual and the atmosphere had a real sense of community. Something I thought lacked in Luton. I was proved wrong.
So my friend decided we had to try and find a recommended chocolate shop...
somewhere in Exmoor.
The Exmoor National Park stretches over Somerset and Devon. Situated on the Bristol Channel, it covers 270 square miles of of hilly open moorland.Driving round the National park, made us realise we live in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, my experience of English countryside was completely blown away. This is real countryside, with real people living an English farming life.
I was in awe.
As it was a race to get to the chocolate shop before the ridiculously early closing time, I only had time to take a few snaps. I will definitely be going back for more.
Of course, the chocolate shop is worth a mention...
