A La RondeOne of the most bizarre family attractions in East Devon is A La Ronde, just outside of the sleepy village of Lympstone. This is sure to be the first 16-sided house you ever visit, and is also likely to be the only one you come across! Built for a pair of spinster sisters in the 18 century, A La Ronde is as fascinating within as from the outside. The eccentric décor includes a shell-encrusted room, a feather frieze and the belongings of the sisters themselves. Mnay of their treasures were collected on their journeys around Europe. |
