Burgh Island

This little island off the Devon coast has seen a lot of history. As well as being the inspiration for two Agatha Christie mysteries, the much-filmed Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel has played host to such notable guests as The Beatles, Noel Coward and, reputedly, Churchill and Eisenhower. The lesser known 13th Century Pilchard Inn is also still serving, but mind your heads! At low tide the island can be reached on foot, but that would be missing half the fun. At high tide the sea tractor, a strange contraption originally designed in the 1930s, makes for a quirky 'ferry' ride, without having to get your feet wet.

Slapton Ley Nature Reserve

This is the largest freshwater natural lake in South West England. and it's protected from the salt tides of the sea by a long bank of shingle. Teeming with wildlife, this is a great place to bring children and you can choose from three different walks, a family trail, village trail or the valley trail which incorporates the costal path. Or you can just amble down to the beach, lovely!
