Blaxton Meadow was reclaimed from the river many years ago

Caption - Blaxton Meadow - Blaxton Meadow was reclaimed from the river many years ago. Recently, breaches have been created in the embankment to allow it to flood at high tide and it is reverting to saltmarsh. In the picture the river is on the left and the marsh is on the right. At low tide it is excellent for watching water birds and recently little egrets (small white herons) have become frequent visitors from Europe.

Devon

The County of Devon offers a wide range of walking. With two lengthy sections of coastal path along the north and south coasts the variety of walking on offer is hard to match anywhere in the British Isles. Add to this the wild moors of the Dartmoor National Park with the highest land in southern England and you soon realise why Devon has such a high reputation among walkers. Elsewhere there are many pretty villages to explore as well as vast tracts of rural farmland with a patchwork of fields surrounded by hedgerows.
