We couldn’t believe our eyes when we scanned the Sunday Times’s list of best places to live in the UK earlier this month – and found that North Devon was left off the list completely!
Now, we know that our little corner of the world won’t suit everyone (not such a bad thing, really, as hordes of people coming to live around here would certainly see it lose its appeal as a quiet and peaceful getaway destination!), but it was a bit of a shock to see that it hadn’t managed to impress the Sunday Times set sufficiently to be included.
We really couldn’t imagine a better place for the Two Moors Festival HQ to be situated and love the surrounding countryside and how diverse it is. We’ve got beautiful woods, forests and moors right on our doorstep, while the coast is just a short drive away. We just have to take our pick between Saunton, Braunton, Ilfracombe, Porlock… spoilt for choice really!
The lucky places that did make the cut are:
Wadebridge, in Cornwall
Topsham in Exeter, South Devon
Totnes in South Devon
Thornbury in Bristol
Bruton in Somerset
Sherborne in Dorset
Truro in Cornwall
Beaminster in Dorset
Oddington in Oxfordshire
Tisbury in Wiltshire
Wells, Somerset
Tetbury in Gloucestershire

North Devon is one of this country’s best kept secrets. It is a heavenly place in which to live.
