Question of the week: Could you recommend a favourite weekend break destination in the UK?
"I have a soft spot for Devon - it's where James and I got married, and where a lot of his family are from. So, obviously, I think that everyone should visit the county, and Totnes is a good place to try.
Not only is it a beautiful town and have a rather splendid castle, it sits right on the sea, so it's easy to spend a day playing in the water. If you want something more adventurous, there are many companies that will take you on whatever sort of adventure you feel like having (river trips, canoeing, steam railway, pretty much anything you'd fancy).
When you get back from your day out, you can enjoy local Devon specialties and meet friendly local people. Devon also tends to be a bit warmer than London, so plan to spend time outside. Also, if you're willing to put in a little planning, there are lots of interesting walks, both along the coast and in-land on Dartmoor.
To get to Totnes, take the Penzance train from Paddington. They leave around once an hour, and it takes three hours to get there. Have fun in the English sun!"
