                <description><![CDATA[As you walk along Plymouth Hoe taking in the spectacular sights of Plymouth Sound, there are several different ice-cream vans that you could stop at, but there is only one you should stop at - the Langage Farm one.<br><br>This is by far the finest local ice-cream you will find, made with real Devonshire cream and with a fantastic array of flavours from the traditional to the unusual. You could try Thunder &amp; Lightning, which is filled with honeycomb pieces, or Turkish Delight flavoured ice-cream, or you could just stick to the farmhouse clotted cream flavour. They are all delicious!]]></description>

                <title>Diving off the coast of Plymouth at the sunken Scylla</title>

                <description><![CDATA[The sunken Scylla is the UK’s first artificial reef created in 2004 and a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to enjoy a dive there.<br><br>I dived with BSAC (the British Sub Aqua Club) after being recommended by a friend who told me that I could join BSAC no matter where or who I had originally trained with. After a few weekends in my local swimming pool refreshing my skills I finally was able two join my local BSAC branch who just happened to be planning their trip down to Plymouth a few weeks later.<br><br>The dive was great and it was such an enjoyable experience to spend a day with a group of active, adventurous people all around my own age and all on hand to support me with my dive.<br><br>Once in the sea the sunken Scylla was breathtaking. Although originally an artificial reef there is now an abundance of colourful, lively marine life at this site and I could have been entertained for hours. There was perfect visibility and I was able to spot sea urchins, reefs, corals, crabs and much much more. I’m not sure of all the correct names but it was definitely a bright and interesting show that was easily on par with the few dives I have done abroad in the past.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A view to brighten up even the dullest day. Great to run to in the early morning to free your mind. Stunning on a sunny day when chilling out on the grass with friends and family. Bracing on a wild and windy day. Strangely magical on a wet and blustery day! Always something to see, always something to do and plenty to think about. A great space to chill out in or to be active in.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A wonderful literary and arts festival from July 21-23 in the blissful grounds of Port Eliot House, a stately home just over the Devon/Cornwall border. Starting next weekend, it's got two areas dedicated to children with storytelling and activities for younger children and a special area for teenagers with slam poetry and VJ workshops (whatever they may be). <br><br>I went last year with my kids and they loved it, and I loved it because it felt wonderfully safe and they could have a good run around in between laughing their socks off and being vaguely educated! <br><br>We camped in the grounds, lots of space and lots of other kids around. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing Hanif Kureishi and Martin Parr, but that all depends if I can extract the kids from the kids area for long enough! <br><br>Great organic breakfasts and lots of Cornish treats. If I could I would've tried out the massage teepee, but well, that never happens does it?]]></description>
