Antony Gormley's 'Field for the British Isles' is in the Spanish Barn at Torre Abbey, Torquay until 23rd August 2009. The exhibition is free to enter and is open daily from 10am to 5pm
Secreted in a tiny village between Torquay and Exeter this restaurant is a delight. Using mostly local ingredients to create excellent menus at what - at least to London eyes - are very reasonable prices.
