One of my travel books describes a small town on the Devon Coast as follows: “Within minutes of escaping the thundering traffic of the A38 Devon Expressway, the air changes, life slows and all becomes right with the world. Unspoilt villages welcome you along the network of narrow, high-banked lanes, many of which are drawn south towards a magnetic coastline of such beauty that you may never want to leave.

At the heart of this ravishing haven, between Plymouth and Torquay, on the banks of a deeply wooded estuary lies   ............., a glorious summer playground of flaxen sands and leisurely waves. There are boatbuilders’ workshops and dozens of pubs, restaurants, cafes and clothing shops.” What is the name of this town?
