Old Totnes RoadTraveler advice
Getting around
BUS 🚌
Check timetables. You can get to Salcombe from outside the door via bus and this may well be less stressful and easier.
Getting around
TRAIN
Train line from Totnes to Exeter is possibly the nicest in the UK
Customs and culture
CREAM TEA
Try a Devon cream tea and remember... cream first! Just think of the cream being instead of butter! But make sure you have a lot!
Traveling with kids
Beaches
Know car park costs. Avoid arriving between 11-12 cos it will be mental! If driving to bantham, especially at busier times, I always go via Thurlestone road and the. Take the right to West Buckland just after a fork in the road!
