The West Country is a wonderful place to take a stroll and enjoy the scenery. Wandering aimlessly is called larruping in Devon, and wombling in Somerset. In Wiltshire – and if it’s more of an unsteady walk – that’s called diddling. If it’s a country walk, you might spot a dumbledore on your way – a rather delightful word for a bumblebee found in Dorset and Wiltshire. Or if you’re in a village, you’re sure to find some traditional thatched cottages like these ones in Kennford, Devon.
