As i read a little further i came across this:
"...Then its inland through exmoor for a spell before you head back towards the sea on the a399 towards ilfracombe-the jewel of the north devon coast."
Well ive heard it called a lot of things (namely s**thole),but that takes the biscuit.
Oh and apparently Ilfracombe is also "a surfing hotspot"....im guessing they must be referring to pissed-up chavs car surfing at 3am.
More Crap News indeed.
