South West 660

Let's drive along Route 5 - Dartmouth to Plymouth. There are no large towns, industry or even much tourist development in the bottom corner of Devon, known to locals as the South Hams. Before you reach the urban centre of Plymouth this is a chance to discover a glorious coastline of small sandy coves, wooded estuaries and boating creeks backed by rolling green dairy farmland. This entire coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with miles of winding narrow lanes. Between the exceptional seascapes find pristine villages and historic towns – these are some of the southwest’s most expensive postcodes. Seek out Slapton Ley, Bigbury Sands and the extraordinary Burgh Island (pictured) or the pretty creekside village of Noss Mayo to name a few.

We had a wonderful time, and great to support and celebrate south west's best food and drink venues!

It was brilliant to be part of the launch of Salt Media’s Trencherman’s Guide 32 yesterday at the gorgeous Hotel Endsleigh. Food was obviously delicious, and as South West 660’s dedicated driver for the day, co-founder Ruud, tried out St Austell Brewery’s brand new 0.5 Proper Job, which he's happy to report was more than ‘proper’! Well done all! W. Nick Cooper Mark Godfrey MI Michael Caines Collection Abi Manning George Dart
