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.

There are many interesting towns to visit or stay in – just take a look at our featured list:

  • Axminster: Best known for its carpet industry, Axminster combines Roman history, markets, tea rooms, nature walks and thatched cottages with Jurassic Coast beaches on the doorstep.
  • Barnstaple and Bideford: Located on the north coast, which was a port. Commissioned back in 930 A.D. and offers many interesting sights.
  • Blackdown Hills & country: A haven for walkers, the Blackdown Hills AONB is on the Devon-Somerset border. Rolling hills hide ancient hill forts, Norman castle mottes, village churches and a host of rare birds, butterflies and wildlife.

  • Sidmouth: Featuring red cliffs set below green hillsides, amazing floral gardens and a dedication to traditional English architecture this is a jewel of a town, and should not be missed.
  • Tavistock: Home of Sir Francis Drake, the ancient stannary town of Tavistock is one of Devon's most charming boroughs with a riverside park. The Bedford family were local benefactors and left a legacy of elegant architecture around the thriving Pannier Market.
  • Teignmouth and Shaldon: Located on the river Teign, these two quaint villages offer many fun activities, as well as plenty of rest and relaxation.
  • Topsham and Exmouth: Situated where the River Exe meets the sea on the south coast, this is a great place to start your exploration of the many picturesque villages along the coast and inland.
  • Torquay: Devon's most popular tourist destination, with penguins, a model village, and tons of charm – it's not hard to see why so many people come here to visit.
  • Totnes: Rising from the banks of the River Dart in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, historic Totnes has a castle, many Elizabethan buildings, museums, pubs and a regular Elizabethan Market on Tuesdays.
  • Westward Ho! & Appledore: Westward Ho!'s two miles of sandy beaches offer open sea swimming, kitesurfing, and surfing, as well as England's oldest golf course and the famous Tarka Trail. The historic North Devon port of Appledore, on the River Torridge estuary, was once famous for its fishing, seafaring and shipbuilding. The pretty village is now a quiet backwater for hikers, artists and beach lovers.
  • Woolacombe: Quieter sister of neighbouring Ilfracombe, Woolacombe has a three-mile sandy beach for surfing in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Frequently recognised as one of Europe's top beaches, it is popular with families, surfers and those looking for unspoilt scenery.

In short, Devon offers something for everyone: incredible coastlines, natural beauty, and plenty of historical significance. Whether you are looking for a weekend stay, or a summer holiday Devon is an excellent choice!
