CPRE Devon Best Kept Village Competition

We have decided that after many years of the same format we need to modernise the competition.

So we will be relaunching the competition for next year, 2016, and there will not be a Devon Best Kept Village competition this year.  We will advise all villages later this year, particularly of course those who have entered the competition previously, and we hope that many more villages will enter our new competition.  We are grateful to all the villages who have entered our competition over many years and we hope that our new competition will be even better!  We are very grateful too to Mole Valley Farmers who continue to sponsor our competition and who will be working with us to promote our new competition.
