A perfect weekend is: Great weather and good views in Exmouth Long walks with the dogs on the beach (Exmouth) A perfect red and white lighthouse (Plymouth) This is Smeaton’s tower, a lighthouse located on the Plymouth Hoe. The lighthouse is no longer in use as a lighthouse, and this is not it’s original location [...]
