Series 8: 3. Derbyshire and Devon
In this jaunt down memory lane, Nicki Chapman makes the 200-mile journey from Derbyshire to Devon to ask the age-old question: coast or countryside?\n\nBack in 2015, Nicki Chapman headed for the hills to help a busy, professional couple on their quest to make their favourite camping destination their permanent home. Almost a decade later, she’s back to find out which of our offerings fulfilled their Peak District aspirations. Later, Nicki pays a visit to a former forces duo who, in 2019, had enlisted Ginny Buckley’s assistance in realising their dream of retiring to the Devonshire Coast.
