There are many places to visit in England, so why should one choose the county of Devon over all the others? Known for its mild weather, stunning cliffs, incredible coastlines, and dedication to the preservation of nature and its inhabitants, Devon is a beautiful county that is waiting to be explored.
Devon, or Devonshire as it is commonly called, was originally named for the Celtic word "Dumnonii", which when roughly translated means deep valley dwellers. Located in southwest England, Devon shares borders with the counties of Cornwall, Dorsett, and Somerset, and is the only county in England with two coastlines (the English Channel to the south and the Bristol Channel to the north).
There are many types of activities to keep you busy while staying in Devon. Just visiting the many towns and villages is a treat, there are also many other sights. With two major national parks you can get your fill of flora and fauna, or if you want a physical challenge head to Bideford Bay where you will find excellent surfing conditions.
The major cities in Devon include Exeter, Plymouth, and Torbay. The majority of Devon consists of small rural villages, and national park land. When travelling through this beautiful county you will encounter many beautiful scenes – including lush rolling green hills, waves crashing against jagged cliffs, and gorgeous stretches of coastline.
