Start Point Lighthouse, on the most southerly tip of Devon and overlooking the busiest shipping lanes in the world, is opening up again for visitors on guided tours this


summer. At the end of the Start Bay headland, it’s been guiding vessels along the English Channel for more than 170 years. It’s also the only lighthouse open to the public in Devon so well worth a look. The walk down from the car park and around the coastal path is one of the most beautiful and rugged walks in the county. Along the coast below you can spot sea birds, migrants, birds of prey, seals and even dolphins. Complete your visit with a picnic on the lovely Mattiscombe Beach.

Prawle Fair is back! On Saturday June 4 the village green will go back in time again – with traditional fairground entertainment including swingboats, coconut shie, skittles, tombola, ‘test your strength’ machine and chucking wet


sponges at the local South Hams Councillor in the stocks! The fair kicks off at 2pm with the legendary ‘raising of the glove’ ceremony, which signifies free trade and clemency at the fair. There’s also a children’s fancy dress and knobbly knees and ‘andsome ankles competitions, Maypole Dancing and a slippery pole to tackle. And in the evening the fun moves from the green to the Pigs Nose Inn with the official Prawle Fair After Party featuring


and their unique blend of folk rock, pop, gypsy jazz, and bluegrass. www.prawlefair.co.uk
