More about Ide

Devon, England

Ide sits quietly in Devon with very little to do and even less to say about it. The town is so peaceful that even the local dogs seem to have given up on barking. It feels like a place where time moves slower than a snail on a rainy afternoon. There are no big venues here, just enough space for a quiet walk or a chat with the neighbours. You might find yourself wishing for more options, but at least you won't miss any bus to get back home. Near Here keeps track of what little is going on so you can plan your Sunday stroll without checking a dozen websites.
