Devon

A County of Contrasts

Devon is a county of incredible diversity, where residents are proud of the unique blend of coast and countryside. The county is the only one in England with two separate coastlines—the rugged north, beloved by surfers, and the sheltered, sandy south, which offers a more tranquil, Mediterranean feel. In addition, Devon is home to both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, providing a wealth of outdoor pursuits right on the doorstep.

Food & Culture

Beyond its natural beauty, Devon boasts a thriving food and drink scene, from fresh seafood caught daily in its fishing ports to the famous local clotted cream. The cream tea debate aside, the county has a wealth of independent producers and bustling farmers' markets. For all its rural charm, Devon is also home to two major cities, Exeter and Plymouth, which offer a great mix of culture, shopping, and job opportunities, all while being just a short drive from stunning beaches or the open moorland.
