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).
