Hind Street Gallery

The Hind Street Gallery sits in West Hill, a quiet corner of Devon that doesn't announce itself loudly. It's a proper art space - the kind where you actually bump into the artist sometimes, propping open the door with a cup of tea. Inside you'll find work from local and regional creators: paintings, prints, sculpture, occasionally textiles. Nothing feels mass-produced or safe. The space itself is intimate without being claustrophobic, white walls and decent light, the sort of place you can spend twenty minutes or two hours depending on what's on.

This works best for anyone with more than a passing interest in contemporary art - not the type of gallery where you're ticking a box on a holiday itinerary. If you're after big names or blockbuster shows, you'll be disappointed. If you like discovering what's actually being made in the South West right now, it's worth a stop. Kids will either love it or be bored within five minutes, no middle ground.

Parking is straightforward in West Hill itself. Allow forty minutes to an hour, longer if the work grabs you. It pairs well with a stay at Cuckoo Down Farm Glamping nearby - you can potter into West Hill easily, visit the gallery, then head back to something more low-key. Oakdown Touring Park is equally close if you're bringing a caravan. Best avoided during school holidays when the village gets busier.
