Welcome to the
Devon Visitors' Guide!
If you don't yet know Devon, many
unexpected delights await you. If you've been before, you'll need no
reminders about the beauty and delights that the county holds.
North Devon includes the delightful area
of Exmoor and the wonderful North Devon
coast. It's an unspoilt area, and relatively unpopulated, with imposing
coastline and wide sandy beaches, great for family holidays as well as
surfing, sailing and boating. You can visit tranquil Lundy Island, walk
across beautiful moorland on Exmoor and explore lush river valleys.
Follow the Tarka Trail, based on the locations made famous by Henry
Williamson in his book "Tarka the Otter", cycle along miles of peaceful
cycle routes and enjoy the superb hospitality of this area.
East and West Devon make up the rural centre of this diverse county.
From the bustling and exciting city of Exeter, to the tiniest of
villages, across rolling hills and lush woodlands in the valleys,
central Devon is a delightful area - an agricultural landscape with
small patchwork fields, offering traditional farms in which you can
stay, luxury country hotels, and modern cafes. The blend of tradition
and modernity will suit all holidaymakers, from the most sophisticated
to those who wish for a simple holiday, taking in the bed and breakfasts
of the area or camping as they trek across this traditional English
landscape. South Devon is a place
of great contrasts, from the World Heritage coastline, where you can enjoy
the delights of beaches, cliffs, rock pools and coast paths, through
traditional seaside resorts such as Torquay and Paignton to the busy
town of Plymouth with so many
maritime links. And the charming estuaries and valleys of the South Hams
will delight even the most experienced traveller, while the grandeur of
Dartmoor National Park thrills all who venture there, its moods changing
with the seasons, yet always thrilling with an imposing magnificence.
