Devon – Outdoor heaven in England’s West Country

Located in England’s West Country, Devon is a large county which is bordered by Cornwall in the west and Dorset and Somerset in the East. One of the things that make Devon unique is the two coastlines: One in the north of Devon, facing the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea, and one to the south, facing the English Channel towards north France.

Devon is home to the amazing moors at Dartmoor, the cities of Exeter, Darthmouth, and Torquay. All great destinations. Off the coast is the wonderful Lundy island. You’ll also be able to visit the Buckfast Abbey, home to the fortified drink Buckfast.

Devon is mainly rural, filled with villages, moors, farmlands, and plentiful opportunities for outdoor sports.
