HOME TO GORGEOUS COUNTRYSIDE SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO STUNNING COASTLINES; IT’S EASY TO SEE WHY DEVON IS SUCH A POPULAR HOLIDAY DESTINATION. THE BEACHES MAY ATTRACT SUN-SEEKERS IN THE SUMMER, BUT THERE IS PLENTY MORE TO ENJOY ALL YEAR ROUND.

The true beauty of Devon lies in its diversity. There’s the coast, where blissfully blue beaches fold into the shadows of craggy coves and surfers run out the day’s sun before heading to the bar. Then there’s Devon’s National Park, Dartmoor, where purple heather spills across the moor between lonely rock ruins and stoic trees. In Wistman’s Woods you’ll find forests fit for fairytales; while Clovelly and Appledore offer up timeless fishing villages.

Devon boasts miles of coast, just waiting to be explored. Perfect for long walks, soaking up the fresh air, splashing in the waves, and fossil hunting.

Whether you love water sports, or prefer to keep your feet firmly on dry ground, there is something for you in Devon. Enjoy long walks, water sports or simply watch the world go by with a delicious cream tea (cream first, of course!).

With stunning views to take your breath away all year round, make sure you pack your camera on your next holiday here. Take some time to slow down and appreciate the natural beauty of Devon.
