Devon Holidays

If you are contemplating taking your main holiday or a shorter break in the UK, you need a destination that offers plenty of locations to suit all tastes and all weather conditions.

Although it is one of the 3 largest counties in England, Devon only has a population of about 1 million so there are vast sparsely populated areas in which to get away from it all when you want to. On the other hand, its capital, the cathedral city of Exeter, Torbay and Plymouth together provide a multitude of things to see and do in the evening or in adverse weather conditions.

It is difficult to think of any other single area in England which offers mile after mile of beaches and rugged coastline yet also boasts 2 National Parks in Dartmoor and Exmoor.

For sports and activities, Devon is unrivalled offering golf, freshwater and deep sea fishing, riding, hiking, kayaking, rock climbing and sailing to name but a few.

For families, the county has always been ideally suited to traditional “bucket & spade" holidays with the South Coast offering a mixture of beaches and fishing villages while the North Coast is more famous for its craggy cliffs and surfing beaches. Visitors can enjoy local specialties like cream teas, cider, pasties and a wide variety of locally produced ice-cream.

Evenings and cloudy days can be spent exploring Exeter with its magnificent cathedral and Plymouth with its National Aquarium and historic Barbican. There are a number of theme parks and other attractions specifically designed to keep the children busy.

It is virtually impossible to cover everything in the space of one visit to Devon which is why so many visitors come back time and time again.
