The famous rolling countryside, the historic cities and market towns, the breathtaking coastlines and the majestic moorlands all make Devon an amazing place to visit. Devon offers two very different coastlines - the dramatic rugged headlands, surf washed sands and tree-clad combes are found on the north coast, whilst South Devon offers sandstone cliffs, white pebble beaches, golden sands and sheltered bays.
There are many popular resorts, quaint fishing villages and a spectacular coastal path to complete the picture. The green rolling hills, coloured patchworks of fields, high sided lanes leading to small towns and villages, make up the tranquility that is Devon's countryside. In stark contrast, the wilds of Dartmoor and Exmoor offer majestic views, tumbling streams and a touch of mystery and legend.
Devon is rich in heritage with a selection of stone circles, ancient medieval routes and historic market towns. The Roman city of Exeter is the County Town, and the city of Plymouth is well know for its maritime connections. There is a great range of accommodation across the County, from self catering cottages to friendly farmhouse bed and breakfasts or luxury hotels and spas.
