Being a UK citizen resident in Canada, requires at least a once a year visit back to the old country to see friends and family. This time, it was over Christmas and the New Year.
It's quite a trek to fly the British Airways over-night to Heathrow, pick up a train bound for Plymouth (in Devon) and be sober and awake enough to pick up a hire car, having been on the go for over twenty-four hours. So we decided to recover for a couple of nights at a quaint hotel on Dartmoor. The Two Bridges Hotel is the place to stay. A lovely old country house with raoring log fires, simple but comfortable bedrooms and excellent food. Good value, too. Its claim to fame is that it was once the preferred hide-away for the actress Vivien Leigh whenever she was visitng the area. The best room in the house to book is The Vivien Leigh Suite.
If you're visitng England, Dartmoor is one of the 'must-do's', not least because it's one of the last remaining wildernesses in Britain.
