Chocolate box pretty and full of charm, Devon has not just something for everyone, but lots for everyone, be they vigorous lovers of the great outdoors or older people looking for restful surroundings and a break majoring on ease and indulgence. Devon has a long and successful history of catering for holidaymakers. As a county, it knows how to please, all the way from its dramatic, fun-packed coast to its inland rushing rivers and woodlands.
Quaint seaside villages abound and eating out by the pretty harbours of places such as Appledore – home of Catboat Cottage – is one of the great joys of a Devon holiday. Surely every break in these parts should include the traditional treats of a cream tea, a glass of cider and fish & chips by the quayside, but there are numerous less obvious gastronomic treats to be savoured thanks to the thriving output of local food producers. You’ll also find no shortage of cheerful contemporary art and crafts.
Wildlife thrives here, no more so than in the peace and quiet of the green campsite of South Hoggs Hideaway, Holsworthy or among the luxurious treehouses and shepherds’ huts of Dittisham Hideaway near Dartmouth. If you want unwind close to nature, look no further!
