Maybe I ask too much, particularly of a national 'chain' such as the Post Office, but a bit of individuality would be nice... some Devon / South West produce rather than just your bog standard Mr Kipling / Aunt Bessie's / Danepak etc...

Tiverton Castle is just outside Tiverton on the road to Exeter…read more It is a beautiful small castle where you can stay in its accommodation or just visit. It is a private house and not a National Trust property so you are allowed to sit on the chairs. You can read about the ghost stories and find out about secret passages. To walk around the gardens is at the very reasonable rate of £1.50. There are regular guided tours every Sunday, otherwise you can wander around at your own leisure. Open from Easter Sunday right through to the end of October on Sundays, Thursdays and Bank Holidays only. They do accept bookings of groups of over 12 by arrangement outside of the normal opening times. Disabled access is limited to the gardens and the ground floor of the castle only. The only drawback is that there are no catering facilities available. Well worth a visit for the gardens on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon!

One of the most unusual buildings owned by the National Trust, this 16 sided property is a…read moretestament to English eccentricity! Built by two spinsters on their return from their grand tour in the 18th Century this building is bound to inspire and intrigue. The guides here are amongst the best that the NT has to offer and they will guide you through the myraid of tiny rooms with enthusiasm in buckets! The highlight of the tour is the shell room in the top of the property. This, for reasons of preservation, now has to be viewed through CCTV but you are able to control the camera and zoom in on anything that takes your fancy. The tea-room in the basement of the property is well worth a visit and the food of excellent quality. This is a small property and so groups can only be accommodated by arrangement. Bags must also be left in lockers at the start of the tour as the rooms are too small and fragile.

A bizarre building close to Exmouth that is well worth a visit! It's actually quite hard to…read moredescribe without going into huge detail. It is basically a quite bonkers designed house, packed full of a variety of rooms, which in turn are packed full of all kinds of bits and bobs. There is even a room that has the walls covered in shells (although you have to look at this through a video link) There are highly knowledgeable staff in almost all of the rooms willing to tell you in detail about the various parts of the building. The tea-shop in the basement is worth trying out - the soup we had was great. It's also worth pointing out that it gives you shelter from the elements if the weather is bad - once we stepped outside the wind almost blew us into the sea!
