Combe Martin in Devon – Bolshie Brummies a plenty

Is Combe Martin a nice place to live or is Combe Martin rough?

Combe Martin is a Devonshire bumpkin village and small “seaside resort” (apparently), about 4 miles east of Ilfracombe in North Devon. There are very few Devonians left in this **** town, where the average age is 0-18 or over 60; anyone else who wants a normal life ‘gets the hell out of Dodge’, and lets […]

Combe Martin: One Foot in the Grave, set in Devon’s own Royston Vasey

Combe Martin? A civil parish and former manor on the North Devon coast about 4 miles east of Ilfracombe. You can’t really mistake this place, and you mustn’t. Think Withnail and I and One Foot in the Grave, set in Devon’s own Royston Vasey. “Out of the World and into Combe Martin” as its old […]

My relatives would perish without a […]

Combe Martin is definitely not interesting, lively or quaint in any way

I’m Bob and I live here. Combe Martin is definitely not interesting, lively or quaint. In any way. It’s dark, humourless, miserable and depressing.
