	Devon Business Information Centre - Properties - Vehicles - Tourist Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Lying in the South West of England between the Bristol and English Channels, Devon, with its deep river valleys and coastlines both north and south, is one of the largest counties in England.
		The North devon coastline provides miles of sandy beaches and rocky terrain for the tourist to enjoy, and most places can be reached from Barnstaple, the largest town in North Devon, a one-time Saxon stronghold, and a town that changed hands four times during the Civil War.
		The spacious centre of the village is filled with cob and thatch houses – from the 16th century through to the 19th – and is surrounded by lanes to walk in and Domesday farms to discover.

	Didcot Railway Centre - Latest News
		It was one of the first vehicles to move to the fledgling Didcot Railway Centre in 1968 when it was acquired for preservation by the late John Mynors.
		But as the railway network expanded the Great Western had increasing problems with transhipping goods onto the standard gauge of the other railways and its broad gauge was finally abandoned in 1892.
		Some 4 years ago Didcot Railway Centre was registered as a museum: this generous grant for the exhibition and learning centre provides the opportunity to both develop its working museum and to expand and refresh the presentation of science and engineering.

	North Devon Focus - All aboard for Bideford Station & Railway Carriage Visitors Centre
		The railway from Barnstaple to Bideford was opened in 1855 but was sadly closed to regular passengers in October 1965 as part of the notorious "Beeching Act".
		The old railway lines were lifted in 1985 and the whole of line was purchased by Devon County Council and converted into the now popular Tarka Trail Footpath and Cycleway.
