Cockington village near Torquay.Devon UK.
Many villages lay claim to being picturesque but the village of Cockington is the real deal. Take a walk back in time along Cockington's narrow lanes, lined with thatched houses with their colour washed walls of stone and cobb.You will experience a quiet charm that is a quintessentially English like Rose cottage where you can relax and enjoy a Devon cream tea,which i must say is delicious.
Everything about Cockington oozes history with many of the cottages dating back to the 16th Century and some, like the old Forge which is mentioned in the Doomsday Book.

Nice depiction of beautiful Devon and I definitely like cream teas. The only thing I didn't like was the difficulty in parking anywhere near the sea.

Bus looks like a good option and an enjoyable one too. You can relax and enjoy the scenery.
