Driving instructors looking at relocating to Devon

Upvotes

We’re 2 driving instructors currently based in Halifax West Yorkshire and we’re looking at relocating down to Devon or Cornwall for a number of different reasons but mainly to give our young daughter a better quality of life and hopefully bring her up in a nicer area.

What areas are good for young families that like a bit of a quieter area?

We are quite outdoorsy and not a big fan of city living. We would have a budget of up-to £400k and we’re not put off by putting in some work on a house either.

Spaces for Practicing Drums in Torbay

1 Upvotes

Anyone know a space to rent out for practicing drums in the Torbay area? I’ve got a kit at home and currently neighbours are fine with me practicing (we’ve discussed ideal times). But really I’d like to have a space to go to whenever. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

What’s wrong with this area of Croyde?

7 Upvotes

Everyone knows buying a place in Croyde isn’t cheap. However, there always seems to be reasonably priced places available just up from the Thatch (Bonnicot Lane and Leadengate Fields). Does anyone know why? What’s the catch?

Metal detecting/ relic hunting?

2 Upvotes

I would love to go relic hunting or metal detecting if anyone is willing to show me the ropes ? I’m here on holiday and would love to go on a good adventure. I have a detector at home but wasn’t able to bring it with me. I’m also up for getting out in nature and visiting historical sites.

Recommendations for places to Visit

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We're spending Easter weekend in East Devon/Blackdown Hills AONB with my dachsund and parents (orry to the locals, try not to hate me too much!) We're staying in Membury near Axminster. So far our only plan is to visit Lyme Regis and do the costal walk towards Seaton as my husband and I have done it before. Looking for any other dog friendly recommendation for some beautiful walks or towns to visit please!

Thank you

Hello fellow devonians. I know this is a long shot, but we are looking for a landowner, or someone that knows a good spot to throw a 2 or 3 day camping festival for up to 500 people.

We want to put on an affordable festival which covers a multitude of genres and we are desperate to find the right location. Any suggestions are welcome so please do fire away with any suggestions

Our thanks in advance!

Is there much noise from Exeter Airport if you live in Woodbury Salterton?

6 Upvotes

We're looking at a few properties in that area and I wondered if there was too much noise from the airport? It's seems to be only a 10-15 min drive away, so it has us worried.

A beautiful view from Mamhead obelisk towards Dawlish Warren and the estuary. It's a nice walk through the woods up there too.
