Travel the World and Save Cash

I visited Devon in 2007 for a restful UK holiday. We were travelling with our dog, and we were very pleased with the dog friendly hotels where we stayed. South Devon is my preferred area as I find the north coast a little too wild and the sea is calmer in the south. The weather in early August was hot and sunny almost all the time, which made it far more enjoyable to explore the area. The picture shows our visit to Hunts Cider Farm in Yalberton, which is on the outskirts of Paignton. This is not the usual tedious 'visitor centre'! You drive down a narrow lane that seems a million miles from modern life and pull up in the small drive next to the farm. Ring the bell and Mrs Hunt senior will slide back the window to sell you the cider that you want. Walk along the lane and you will see the orchards laden with the apples for next year's cider. Go a little further to the stream where the original presses were powered by water. Production now meets all modern standards but the Hunt family have managed to hold on to the charm of traditional small scale cider production.
