The Beehive, Honiton, Devon

Born in Devon and now based in Somerset near the Devon border, I write and edit ThisIsSouthWest.com as an independent, continually updated guide to Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset. With over thirty years of travel experience, I combine local knowledge with regular visits across the region to create practical, well-researched content, alongside news and commentary reflecting life, travel and current events across the South West.
