Devon

Bordered by Somerset, Dorset and the Duchy County of Cornwall, Devon is England's third largest county with nearly 7,000 sq. kilometres of land. Devon is one of the most popular destinations in England with award winning accommodation, attractions and activities suitable for all types of holiday, especially family holidays, active breaks, foodie breaks, green holidays or cultural breaks.

The county contains the two natural parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor, the coastal towns and seaside resorts of two coast lines, picturesque villages with their thatched cottages and charming inns, the industrial centres and a variety of ancient history.

Devon provides some outstanding natural beauty with its wonderful moorlands and coastlines. Wander around traditional fishing villages or along sandy beaches. Explore unspoilt landscapes and a wealth of attractions. Unwind at a spa or get active and try one of the water-sports in Devon. Many attractions have special offers and free events and there are so many natural playgrounds including Dartmoor, Exmoor and the coast.

There are numerous stately homes rich in history to discover, some still privately owned such as Powderham Castle and Hartland Abbey and castles that once protected Devonians from outsiders such as Dartmouth Castle.

Caves, cottages, and castles are just a few examples of the delights that await your visit. There is plenty to see and do within the South West of England.
