Best French Bakery in Sidmouth

"In 1872, the railway line between Totnes, Buckfastleigh and Ashburton opened with the branch line to the Quays in Totnes opening in 1873 only to goods traffic. Sadly, after facing many difficulties and the decline in use, the line to passengers closed in 1958 and goods traffic ceased in 1962. The Quay line however continued to operate occasionally but by 1967 all use of the line had ended."

"The best preserved monastic site in Devon and Cornwall can be found in Torquay and dates from the end of the 12th century. No sooner was Torre Abbey suppressed in the 16th century, it became a stately home, and although large portions of the church were torn down, the south and west cloisters were adapted into the house. The tithe barn, gatehouse, abbot’s tower and undercrofts all came through unscathed."

"Chococo is great for silent working as its never too loud, their hot chocolates are extraordinary, however they don’t have too many plugs so again not great for a full day study sesh. The prices of their drinks vary; a standard hot chocolate is £3.20 but you can add syrups, cream, and marshmallows for an extra fee."

"Our third choice is a venue that quite literally offers something for everyone. Whether you are looking to wind down with a cocktail or a glass of wine after a rigorous week of lectures and coursework or dance the night away to some contemporary beats, this Exeter club has you covered. Hidden away somewhat despite being right in the heart of the city, this club is well worth digging out as their dedicated cocktail lounge is probably the most ambient space in the city."

"For full-blown Victorian architectural excess, Knightshayes Court delivers in spades. It was designed by the eccentric architect William Burges for the Tiverton MP John Heathcoat Mallory in 1869. Burges' obsession with the Middle Ages resulted in a plethora of stone curlicues, ornate mantles and carved figurines, plus lavish Victorian decoration (the smoking and billiard rooms feel just like a gentlemens club). Outside is a waterlily pool, topiary, formal terraces and a kitchen garden. It's 1 mile east of Tiverton at Bolham."
