Burgh Island inspired Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None' (Christie also wrote Evil Under the Sun whilst here). The Pilchard Inn has huge stone fireplaces casting a warm, orange glow. Huddle by the fire or watch the tide from one of the benches outside. And if the tide comes in while you're finishing your drink, you can return to the mainland by sea tractor!

Hidden down a residential street overlooking Exeter quay, the wedge-shaped Hourglass is about as quaint as they come. The pub is distinctly Alice-in-Wonderlandish, with a circular bar in the middle of the room and little nooks and crannies around it. The arty crowd blend in well with the eclectic decor: knick-knacks and curios scattered around and a stuffed badger in a suit guards the staircase. Drinks are locally sourced, including ales from Dartmoor, and downstairs the unpretentious restaurant serves up delicious dishes. Don't let the simplicity fool you: the menu features some of the region's best game and poultry with everything baked on site.

Owner Mark Dodson won a Michelin star for this pub within six months of opening in 2006, having been head chef at Michel Roux's Waterside Inn in Bray. But despite its foodie credentials, this thatched little pub avoids being pretentious.

Go to The Thatch to hang out with boisterous surfers sporting top knots and wetsuit tans. Friday night is live music night, with the pub keen to support original talent rather than cover bands. During the day there's a great selection of burgers and a varied kids' menu - it's a wonderful lunch destination for families taking a break from digging sandcastles at nearby Croyde or Saunton beaches. It also does an excellent cream tea and has a huge garden for little ones to run around in. Look out for the craft ales.

Half an hour north of Exeter is the 16th-century Lamb Inn, a lovely red-brick building in the tiny village of Sandford. The pub has a real community feel, with villagers huddling around the fire and the wooden bar in winter and out in the bright beer garden in summer. It's all wonderfully quirky; there's a skittles alley upstairs which doubles up as a home cinema. Real ales rotate between four and five cask brews at a time to ensure they are fresh.

Sightseeing
Famous for a certain apocryphal bowls match and an iconic landlocked lighthouse, Plymouth Hoe is one of the best-known green spaces in the South West. It’s also just across the street from Hoe Park House.
The Hoe is a large public park just above the seafront, with panoramic views across Plymouth Sound and Drake’s Island, and the beautiful Art Deco 'Tinside Lido'. It’s popular with both locals and visitors, who come here for picnics or to play on the open, grassy spaces. Hoe Park Promenade is a wide, level area, great for, roller skating or blading and skateboarding.
There’s always a lot to watch from Plymouth Hoe, and it’s easy to spend a sunny afternoon lying on the grass, watching the ferries fishing boats and yachts move slowly across the Sound.
The red and white striped Smeaton’s Tower was moved here in 1877, stone-by-stone, from the Eddystone Rocks out at sea. It’s now open to visitors. On the east side of the Hoe, the Royal Citadel military fortress is another local landmark.

It has recently undergone an extensive restoration and is home to artists’ studios and galleries, apartments, restaurants, a bistro, cafés, a wine lounge, a bakehouse, and pizzerias, as well as fitness and well being facilities, stand-up paddle-boarding, open water swimming and a tidal pool and sail boat charters.
