    I did an Internship there about ten years ago in cooperation with the Totnes language school and I'm not shy to say that watching this brought tears to my eyes. It's just so great to see all these familiar places again, much has changed but some of the stores I could still recognise.
    I really miss that town and my guest family. I hope that I can visit Totnes again someday in the future!^^

    You surprise me every time. Totnes Devon is about the same population as Sandpoint, Idaho USA. However, a lot more shops and beautiful architecture. Interesting that they established their own currency in 2007. Do they still have it, did it work out?
    Wonderful outside market. Thank you for another wonderful video. Hurley Dean, Sandpoint, Idaho USA.

    • @LivingWalks
      @LivingWalks  Před 2 lety +1

      Good morning to you HD, yes it was interesting that they established their own currency isn't it. It was in circulation from March 2007 to June 2019, when it was discontinued due mainly to the increasingly cashless economy.
      Curious to hear it is about the same population as Sandpoint. We're learning a little bit each week about each others world, we welcome that!

    This is great thanks. I always wanted to go to Totnes when Ilived in Somerset but never made it.its bigger than I thought. We can hear the seagulls so I wonder where the shops are in proximity to the sea...assuming thats it at the end. Lovely to see so many dogs about town too 😀

      Hi there KG, The closest beach as the crow flies to Totnes is Goodrington South Sands which is in Paignton, 3.23 miles from Totnes but I think the seagulls are quite happy to hang around Totness even though it's a little far from the sea!

    Totnes is really weird just like the people who live there. I used to work at the police station and even the police are weird. Being in Totnes is like being inside some deranged person's daymare where logic and rational thought has no purchase. The place is twinned with Narnia and while it's amusing to visit and see the antics of the locals occasionally, it isn't wise to visit too often for the sake of your sanity. They're all barmy.
