Totnes is a small town in Devon, and I often get to visit it as an IT support customer has a branch there. Any town with as lively a “hippy” community is cool in my book, and I really wouldn’t mind living there!

In 2007, Time magazine declared Totnes the capital of new age chic. In 2008, Highlife, the British Airways magazine, declared it one of the world’s Top 10 Funky Towns.”
