Totnes, a market town in Devon, has been celebrated for its creative community, thriving bohemian culture, and one of the best high streets in Britain, according to a travel reporter from London.
Starting at the bottom of the street, visitors can cross the bridge over the River Dart to soak up the town's atmosphere. In summer, the town is decorated with colourful bunting, while small boats glide across the water.
Independent Shops and Eateries
After crossing the bridge, The Curator offers coffee and a selection of pastries, one of many independent businesses along the high street. The high street rises gently upwards and is lined with hundreds of independent shops, charity outlets, and tearooms.
Further up, the Cornish Bakery fills the street with the aroma of pasties, accommodating all preferences including vegan options. Butterworth's Vintage Co, a small second-hand establishment, offers knitwear, workwear, and vintage magazines.
The Bull Inn and Garden
A brief walk from Butterworth's lies The Bull Inn, a pub featuring an extensive organic food menu and nine rooms for guests. The standout feature is its charming garden, where visitors can relax in the sunshine, decorated with bunting like the rest of the town.
On a bright day, the town offers a relaxing escape after shopping along the high street.
