This West Country county is as varied as it is beautiful, comprising ruggedly beautiful moorland, extensive beaches, towering cliffs, pretty harbours, sleepy villages, cathedral cities and the only town to include an exclamation mark in its name: Westward Ho! With so much to offer, it’s no surprise that holidaymakers fall in love with it and return year after year. From cute cottages to elegant self-catering town houses, your Devonshire holiday is just a few clicks away.

Devon’s southern shore is an attractive mixture of unspoilt cliffs and picturesque harbour towns. The cliffs and coves of the Jurassic Coast are crammed with ancient fossils. Contrast that with the oh-so-English charm of resorts like Torquay and you get a sense of this area’s unique qualities.
