Sadly this vessel is still lying off the East Devon coast between Branscombe and Seaton. There is an interesting article on the fishing-blog about the boat, with a few pictures as well.

It has come to my attention that people do not realise that they can advertise their Devon and Cornwall Hotels on this site free of charge.

We accept every type of holiday accommodation in Devon and Cornwall including Hotels. We get a lot of hits looking for Hotels in the area, yet we still do not have many to offer the sites users.

Hotel accommodation is ever popular in the south west where people want everything laid on for them, its not just B&B’s and self catering.

My local area has a flourishing network of Hotels in coastal resorts and speaking to the owners and managers they are fully booked in some parts already.

Please feel free to add your Hotel accommodation and benefit from free marketing today.

Devon has to be one of the greatest and ever popular holiday destinations in the UK.

There is plenty to do in the county and plenty to see.

There is Dartmoor, Torbay, Exeter, East Devon, The Jurassic Coastline, North Devon, the list goes on.

The rolling hills of Devon and the lush green country side make it my favourite UK county.

There is little to touch Devon with its beautiful coast line and changeable interior. We have many places for you to visit in the county of Devon for a possible holiday destination. Click and have a look for your self and enjoy a Holiday in Devon.

I guess the ultimate way to spend your holiday would be in a luxury holiday cottage.

The whole idea of going away is to relax and live in a way you normally cannot. Be it on a river, on a moor, tasting wine for a week, next to a warm pool, whatever your desire is the holiday is where we indulge in selfish extravagance.

The icing on the cake can often be staying in a luxury holiday cottage. A quality cottage will provide you with real comfort and decadence. Often found in accommodation of this ilk are luxury hot tubs and heated pools, with dressing rooms and covered BBQ areas. The quality of the equipment provided should be first class, washing machines and tumble dryers should be included, Broad band internet and a dishwasher should now be standard in any luxury holiday cottage.

The location of the cottage is also an important factor. Luxury cottages should have a bearing, boast a view, nestled in a valley – there should be something that gives you that wow factor and makes it stand out from the rest.

I always consider that if I want a luxury cottage I think would this be my ideal home if I could afford it? If the answer to this is yes then its probably right for your ideal holiday.

VisitDevonandCornwall offers free advertising for owners and agents with holiday lettings they wish to further market on the internet.

Running for almost 3 years now this site has undergone a lot of changes and recent improvements to establish a strong position on the internet, and we a striving to be recognized amongst the top 10 holiday lettings web sites for Devon and Cornwall.

We are constantly updating our coding to appeal to the search engines for our most popular search terms to draw all the visitors we can from the internet to our lettings pages. The summer Holiday season is the busiest time for us and we are preparing ready for the influx of traffic.

We are also just about to be published for the second time in Cornwall Today as well as running a flyer campaign to get new holiday lettings on the site ready for the summer visitors. Both campaigns have proven very successful and we look forward to much more success as the season opens.

Wednesday of last week I took my lads to Seaton in East Devon for a short break. Their favorite attraction in the area was Seaton’s Tramway.

The trams are scaled replicas of original trams and they run on a narrow gauge line running from Colyton to Seaton via Colyford. the total trip lasts for about 20 mins (one way) and you reach about 13 mph at the fastest point. The cars are open topped so you get a chance to really enjoy the whole experience.

We arrived in Colyton and waited for a tram. It only took about 10 mins for one to arrive but the excitement levels had already risen to near bursting point. We navigated our way to the top of the tram and waited to set off. The journey was very comfortable and we could enjoy far reaching views across the Devon country side and into the river axe and its tidal banks.

Egrets, Shell Duck, Waders, Rabbits and Herons were a few of the many species we saw on the journey. We stopped in Colyford to allow other passengers to board the already bursting tram car and off we went once more towards Seaton. My lads loved the level crossing and waving to the stationary vehicles allowing us to pass through.

On arriving at Seaton we spent a few quid buying postcards from the tramway shop then headed into Seaton to explore this seaside town.

All in all agreat day and one that we will be talking about for weeks to come.

Held this year over the 17th 18th and 19th of May.

The Devon county show is the largest event of its type in Devon. There will be local producers, craft, farming and live stock.

Held from the 3rd August 2007 untli the 10th August 2007 in Sidmouth, East Devon.

Enjoy dancing in the streets with this fantastic gathering of musicians and artists from around the world playing thier own unique sound.

There will be work shops, markets, street music, plays and much more to enjoy.
