The rolling Devon hills and the gothic stables block form the backdrop to this popular event.
Last year’s line-up included some great music from local bands followed by some top...

Not only will the bikes help keep people fit, they will generate electricity too with small lights showing how much power your hard pedalling has produced.
The bicycles, which are being installed in the sunken gardens next to The...

The existing law prevents larger stores from opening for more than six hours. It was relaxed as an exception during the 2012 Olympics, resulting in a significant surge in sales.
