Your next Devonshire drive could became a quest — part adventure, part puzzle, all discovery? That’s what LOV, the latest Quest Drive™ from Venture Bound, promises. Winding through North Devon’s spectacular countryside, this drive starts at The Pyne Arms, East Down, and ends at The Sawmills, Combe Martin — a route packed with clues, competition, and coastal charm - the perfect Devonshire Car Tour and Treasurer Hunt.
What is LOV?
“LOV” is about seeing what others miss. With 2 to 5 people per car, your crew follows route directions via the Quest Drive App, solves quiz questions based on what you spot along the way, and scores points for accuracy and sharp observation. This is not a race. It’s a hunt — a test of teamwork, awareness, and wit.
The Route: East Down → Combe Martin
Start: The Pyne Arms, East Down — a warm welcome and the perfect place to gather your crew and brief your team before setting off.
Duration: Around 1½ to 2 hours, depending on how many clues you find (and how many stops you make for photos!).
Team size: 2–5 people per car — perfect for splitting roles (driver, navigator, clue-spotter, timekeeper).
Highlights along the way:
• Quiet Devon lanes lined with hedgerows and rolling fields.
• Hills, woodlands and sea-bound roads leading toward Combe Martin.
• Clues hidden in plain sight — local landmarks, features, and scenery.
• Quiz questions that bring the route to life.
Finish: The Sawmills, Combe Martin — an inviting riverside finish for a well-earned bite, a drink, and a debrief.
Why LOV Stands Out
🌄 Scenic North Devon mix: From inland ridges to coastal approaches — you’ll see the best of Devon’s countryside.
🧩 Interactive adventure: Not just driving, but decoding.
🕒 Flexible format: Run it when it suits you — any day of the week but daylight helps, but the clues are always there.
🏆 Leaderboard excitement: Points reward accuracy and insight, not haste.
🍻 Rewarding finish: The Sawmill at Combe Martin is your well-deserved prize after the quest.

Tips to Master LOV

Don’t rush — sometimes the best answers appear when you pause.
Plan your finish — The Sawmill is perfect for comparing scores and sharing laughs.
Final Thoughts
LOV isn’t just a drive. It’s a story written across Devon’s backroads — one that rewards curiosity, attention, and adventure. Whether you’re out for a day’s exploration, or competing with friends and fellow clubs, the LOV Quest Drive will show you a side of North Devon few ever notice.
The roads await. The clues are set. Are you ready to find what others miss?
