We have planned a trip south and I have been trying to find some inspirational work of photographers in those areas to form some plaans and ideas..so far not luck.
yes i have tried google..been hours on there.
This strange as when I went to the north west of England and to scotland I found plenty of ideas and places to visit.
Any one know of any good sites or galleries of photographers in those areas

**Bedruthan Bay & Carnewas Steps should be a must! Also Tintagel. I'd also say Padstow and Newquay. Some of the most photogenic beaches in the area. **

For an idea of the area and its potential you can't go far wrong with : http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/in_pictures/your_devon/
Nice thing is they are all labelled where they are taken.
For inspiration just look at your favourite landscape photographer - OK it might not be Devon he is showing you, but be assured Devon and Cornwall has it all there ready to be photographed.
A personal favourite is the walk from Lynton to Watersmeet , along side the River Lyn - loads of photo opportunities and lunch at the NT cafe at Watersmeet House. Valley of the rocks is nearby too as is Exmoor and the associated coast line .
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.
