Mum was Born in Bradninch - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradninch , her twin sister and children live in Cullumpton . Lived with my Nan in 1973 for a while after we came back from Africa . Lovely part of the world . My younger sister now lives in Exeter .
I was born in Newton Abbott and brought up in nearby Teignmouth, moved to Southampton when I was 7. Don't know North Devon so well and have only ever passed through Exeter on a train. As you say it's a lovely part of the World and i've been back several times to visit relatives and the beaches on the English Riviera.
No Saints_Alive - born in Surrey, moved down with family to Portsmouth when I was 11. I just love the West Country (mainly the South Hams & Torbay) from holidays as a kid, and then taking my own children there when they were young. Have been to Plainmoor a number of times when Torquay have played Pompey in pre-season games. Quaint little ground. Don't like Plymouth much though
Ha! wonder why you don't don't like the Janners!..... Yes, I wish we never moved from idyllic South Devon to a Southampton council estate when I was 7...cheers Dad!
My wife and I have often thought about moving down to Devon to live . Really like Totnes, that would suit us well
Unusual combination but Watford and Taunton Town - born in the first but lived in Somerset for more years than I can remember before emigrating.
