Hilly Totnes


This is the Totnes' Gate, maybe the most emblematic part of the town. We stayed in Totnes for a week (well, its outskirts really), it was our central pointto go around. A lovely little town, as you may have guessed in my recent posts. The first time we went to town, one thing struck me: it is very hilly.
I don't mind: I grew up in a city full of steep hills, not unlike this Devon town, at least when it comes to its geography. All the same, I was not used to walk up and down such hills anymore. I got back into it pretty quickly and I actually enjoyed it quite a lot, if only because it is good for health and helps to burn calories. So this is maybe completely trivial, but it was my first impression of Devon and Totnes.
