In Devon, there is a huge range of locally made crafts, gifts, and produce from handmade jewelry to driftwood furniture. Head to Appledore in North Devon for art galleries and artists or to Cockington Court near Torquay, where you'll find a hub for art and crafts with a canoe maker, as well as a chocolate maker. Here, you can also watch glassblowers and blacksmiths in action. In addition, local produce is an essential part of all holidays in Devon. There are daily farmers’ markets and farm shops across the county where you can buy local, organic vegetables, dairy produce, meats, fish, and local ciders. If you want the best of the high street or to indulge in some designer goods, then head to Drake Circus in Plymouth, Green Lanes in Barnstaple, or Affinity Devon (formerly Atlantic Village) in Bideford. All venues offer a mixture of indoor and outdoor shopping with high street brands and plenty of opportunities for a spot of alfresco refreshment. A visit to Occombe Farm in Paignton will offer you more culinary adventures. The Farm Shop, Butchers, Cafe, Education Centre, and Nature there are a good number of independent shops in the Barbican in Plymouth, the Castle and Cathedral Quarter of Exeter, the lanes of Barnstaple, and market towns such as South Molton and Totnes. Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are picture-perfect seaside towns with plenty of independent shops and boutiques, while Tavistock's ancient Pannier Market is also another great find - and has survived without a break for over 900 years. Today, this wonderful indoor market attracts customers from far and wide, with traders selling a huge variety of goods. Browsing these, you can find clothes, jewelry, and gifts that you simply won’t find anywhere else.
