If you're still in north Devon this week, Barnstaple has train line that takes you through some pretty places on the way down to Exeter. Alternatively, there are some guided tours of nearby Exmoor national park available - although these may leave from south Devon, the TIC in Woolcombe should be able to provide info.
After 3 weeks (minus Easter) away from home, I am headed back Saturday. However, a co-worker who arrived this week has also been booked at the Woolacombe Bay Hotel for this coming weekend. If it stays rainy and cold, he can always head back to Barnstaple and a train ride sounds interesting to him. Like me, he also needs to get the laundry done and I do picture him sitting in the pub rather than the launderette. At least we've found plenty of those here!
