Where I Dwell
A Bespoke + Local way to hang out in Devon
Got a free weekend on the horizon? Lucky you. Fancy some inspo on how best to spend it? Course you do!
We recently introduced you to brilliant luxury gifting brand Bespoke + Local (and if you’ve not read that one yet, crack on, those jingle bells are starting to jingle!)
Now, find out how its lovely founder Alison Logan makes the most of living here. Enjoy!
Favourite place to blow away the cobwebs…
I love the Goat Walk in Topsham – I feel very lucky to have this beautiful spot on our doorstep.
Best place for coffee…
The Curator Café in Totnes’ Butterwalk – it’s the perfect blend of a coffee shop and a sustainable department store.
Most underrated spot in Devon…
Greenway on the banks of the River Dart is a gem, especially when you travel by ferry.
My go-to for gifts is…
Locally, I love to go to the Maker Mart in Exeter. Craftmongers in Ashburton is another favourite - these spaces are always so inspiring.
Coast or Moors?
The coast - it’s all about the fresh sea air and the sound of the waves for me.
A local place on my list to try is…
Glebe House - stunning interiors, exceptional food, and a beautiful setting. It’s pure bliss.
Favourite beach…
It’s tough to choose, but Wembury Beach is a recent find for us, and it’s been a big hit with the boys.
Local place on my list to try…
Le Vin Perdu in Ashburton and Circa in Totnes are next on my list! [err, us too!]
This year, I tried something new:
I started learning how to make chocolate with Nicola from Exe Chocolate - it’s been fascinating!
Next year, I want to…
Explore more of Devon’s cycle trails with my bike-mad boys.
