Sightseeing in Devon

A holiday in Devon is full of contrast - from some of the most stunning coastlines and beaches in Britain to the wilds of remote Exmoor and the traditional rolling hills of Tarka Country. Their inspirational landscapes have influenced famous writers, poets, artists and musicians. Follow in the footsteps of Agatha Christie or Conan Doyle.

Enjoy the rich variety of Devon's heritage, from castles, gardens and historic cities to the lively traditions of today's painting and the performing arts. Dip back into the dark past with Dartmoor's stone circles and tors, admire the craftsmanship of Exeter's medieval cathedral, gracious stately homes and formidable castles. Learn about the writers, poets, artists and musicians inspired by Devon's great landscapes. With such a rich maritime past, seafaring experiences abound and casual glances can still evoke visions of a bygone age. Visit the picturesque village of Clovelly with its steep cobbled streets and ancient harbours.

North Devon and Exmoor is unique. Most of the coastline is made up of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and National Park.. The area caters for every type of visitor, whether you prefer sleepy hamlets hidden amongst the rolling hills, traditional market towns or vibrant coastal resorts offering a wide range of amenities, North Devon will not disappoint!
