Having always lived a short distance from Devon’s beautiful landscapes, Eleanor developed a genuine fascination for local wildlife and coastal areas from an early age. Her studies have fostered a particular interest in coastal formations, marine wildlife and ecosystems. In her spare time, Eleanor enjoys bodyboarding in North Devon, kayaking down the River Exe and snorkelling in the south-west and abroad.
