Enjoy Devon Responsibly
Devon’s dual coastlines, two National Parks, and National Landscapes (AONBs) make it a perfect destination for adventure and relaxation. To ensure its stunning landscapes remain preserved for future generations, it’s essential to enjoy Devon responsibly.
Respect the Environment: Devon is home to a diverse range of wildlife, from wild ponies on Exmoor and Dartmoor to marine creatures along the coast. While these animals may seem accustomed to human presence, it’s important not to disturb them. If you find an animal in distress, contact local authorities for help rather than intervening yourself.
Dispose of Litter Properly: Properly disposing of litter helps protect wildlife and keep Devon clean for everyone. Always collect all your rubbish, including recyclables, and dispose of it in designated bins. If you see litter, help by picking it up, as long as it is safe to do so.
Respect Private Land and Public Right of Way: While much of Devon is open to the public, some areas are privately owned. Stick to marked paths and signs to avoid trespassing and prevent damage to the land, especially rare or protected plants.
Use Designated Areas for Picnics, BBQs, and Camping: Be mindful of local restrictions regarding picnics, BBQs, and camping. Some areas prohibit wild camping, and improper BBQ use can lead to dangerous wildfires.
Know Your Limits: Whether you’re surfing, rock climbing, or hiking, always stay within your abilities and be well-prepared. This helps ensure your safety and reduces the strain on rescue services.
Have Fun Responsibly: Whether you’re surfing, shopping, or exploring, enjoying Devon responsibly helps preserve its natural beauty for future generations to enjoy.
