Can anyone suggest where to go in Devon to photograph Gannets. Help would be greatly appreciated

Ferry to Lundy probably a good bet, plus you'd get Manx Shearwater among others. Because Gannet doesn't breed in Devon there are no actual sites at which to get very close to Gannets from land, but if you went to Berry Head or Hopes Nose in optimum conditions (strong SSW or SE winds respectively) you no doubt would get birds pretty close in, plus skuas, shearwaters and maybe petrels.

We used to throw bread off the back of the Oldenburg on the way back from Lundy and it attracted lots of Gulls and several very close Gannets, lots of people took great photos!
