Broadhempston Broadhempston, a village with a strong community spirit and a good mix of people, lies about six miles north of Totnes and away from main roads, giving it a rural character. It dates from Saxon times and has good local facilities including a thirteenth century church, a primary school, two pubs (the Monk's Retreat and the Coppa Dolla) and a shop/post office. Totnes is known as an Elizabethan town but has much earlier origins with a castle, a wonderful position on the River Dart and a main line railway station. It has a well-regarded community college, full range of shops, a weekly market and a wide choice of cultural facilities.
Totnes The unique and charming market town of Totnes sits above the River Dart in the heart of the South Hams. The town is one of Devon's gems, the birthplace of the Transition Town movement in England and nominated in British Airways' HighLife magazine as one of the world's top ten funky towns. Full of colour and character, its atmosphere is cosmopolitan with a West Country flavour and those looking for history, alternative therapies and beautiful countryside will find it in and around Totnes. The town is said to have more listed buildings per head of the population than anywhere else in Britain. With a twice-a-week market and full of small independent shops, it's well-known for ethical products, wholefoods and fair trade goods. It is the second oldest borough in England, with an ancient Guildhall and Church, a Norman Castle and its North and East Gates. There is a well-regarded community college and a mainline railway station and Dartmoor, the South Hams and many of its fine beaches are within easy reach.
