No-one could possibly tire of Devon, and one holiday amidst its glorious scenery could not possibly exhaust all its potential for holiday activity, amusement or interest.
This is the county that was home to Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh, from which Drake’s small ships sailed to defeat the mighty Spanish Armada and the Pilgrim Fathers sailed to a new life in America. Devon is rich in historic interest, from the Jurassic Park of the Riviera to the Roman ruins of Exeter and on to the creations of more modern times.
The haunting scenery of Dartmoor contrasts with the grandeur of the two glorious coastlines, while the beauty of river valleys such as the Dart and the Tamar are legendary.
