To anyone wishing to take an UK holiday this year,I can thoroughly reccommend North Devon. I was born in Bideford,went to Grenville College and run the Kings Arms pub on the quay for a year. Appledore,Instow,Croyde,Baggy Point and the pannier markets in both Bideford and Barnstaple are worth a visit. Clovelly down the road (owned by an old school mate) and Hartland for fossil hunting,the whole area has loads to offer with some fantastic restaurants,family days out and history. Oh,and the local beer is something to behold too. Good luck with your gite........ Ree
