Less than two hours' drive from Bristol sits an idyllic seaside village that could have been pulled straight out of a fairytale. Full of history and nestled among the shores of south Devon, Shaldon is well worth a visit throughout the year - but it really comes alive during the summer.
There are beach sports aplenty here, with the famous Shaldon Regatta taking place during the summer, which sees rowing races down the River Teign. There's even a beach pillow fight held here at the end of August.
What's more, the village boasts a rather unique carnival, where floats really do float. The water carnival sees locals decorate their boats with various themes and take to sailing down the River Teign at the beginning of August, with a live band closing the celebrations.
