Our planet is full of secrets that you may not even be aware of. And even the people that know about the secret places around the world don’t actually know what is happening in them; the only thing that we know is that they exist, their names, and a couple of pieces of information or assumptions. There are simply places that you will never have a likely chance to visit, and we have decided to point out the top seven forbidden places in the world.
7 – Area 51

The Bath hoodoo shows no sign of abating for Exeter Chiefs after they were once again undone by their Westcountry rivals in a hard-fought derby encounter at a packed Sandy Park.
Mike Ford’s high-flying outfit edged out their Devon counterparts thanks to tries from Ollie Devoto, Kyle Eastmond and Nick Abendanon, whilst Ford’s talented son, fly-half George Ford, weighed in with the remainder of their points as he converted all three scores, as well as adding two penalties.
For the Chiefs, it was yet more Aviva Premiership heartache as...

Exeter City were 3-2 winners against Southend United at Roots Hall, as Eliot Richards’ first goal in City colours –in the 87th minute – capped a thoroughly entertaining affair in the Grecians’ favour.
City had gone ahead first through Jimmy Keohane, but the lead was short-lived as Mark Phillips headed the Shrimpers level two minutes later. The centre-half was on hand again to give Southend the advantage in the first period.
But an absolute rocket of a shot by Liam Sercombe earned an equaliser for the Grecians, before a smart piece of forward play by Richards in his second...
On Friday 7 February, the Rt Hon Hugo Swire MP visited the WESC Foundation in Exeter to say a special thank you to one of the learners at the Specialist Centre for Visual Impairment. Jacob Towner, aged 14, was the lucky learner whose Christmas card design was chosen by the Member of Parliament for East Devon to send out his Christmas wishes.
The challenge was presented to the learners just prior to the Christmas period to come up with a suitable card design, and so Hugo was charged with the difficult decision of choosing a winner. Jacob was thrilled and proud to learn that his...
Network Rail will lay more concrete foundations in Dawlish today after additional damage to the sea wall caused by Friday' nights storm could delay the track’s restoration by up to two weeks. The track, initially damaged by storms at the beginning of February, was originally expected to be completed by mid-march. However this Friday saw the temporary flood defences, made of shipping containers filled with concrete, overwhelmed by the rising water. Network rail has since strengthened the defences and has said they anticipate a new assessement on the timescales by the end of this week. After...
