Exeter is a big town/little city if you fancy a night out. Plymouth might have some raving on offer too (but I prefer Exeter personally).
Check out MOO! for other rave action in the south west (forum is down at the moment, but I’m sure it will be back soon).
Cornish beaches are the best around for surfing and chilling in the sun (if you are lucky).
There is quite a big rave scene in cornwall if you are lucky enough to happen upon one.
Boscastle (cornwall) has a witchcraft museum which is quite small, got trashed in teh floods a few years back, but is well worth a visit if you are into that sort of thing.
The closest I have come to a hippy/alternative type area is Totness (devon) but you would never guess it on first glance. I guess Glastonbury is a bit out of your way, but a lovely little town to visit when teh festival isn’t on.
I have never stayed there but I think there is a car park near Newquay where surfers stay in their campervans so you might meet some nice people there.
One of the best fishmongers in the south west can be found in Newlyn (near Penzance) if you are into that sort of thing.
There are untold ammounts of standing stones, stone circles, monoliths and burial ground type places in cornwall – get yourself an AA map and they are all marked.
My favourite beaches are in north cornwall, but the whole coast down there is awesome.
Have a top time =)
