This is rather odd. At the edge of a patch of lush grass and a tangled wood, an environment that belongs on the fringes of Dartmoor, deer stare in amazement as I emerge from the trees. They are within 50 metres of industrial units, and 200 metres of the perimeter fence of the airport. Large numbers graze in a nearby field nearer the runway. So the environs of Plymouth push into wild Devon, which won't go away.
