Devon has Sandy Beaches, Fossil Cliffs, Medieval Towns and Moorland National Parks

North Devon

Devon, a county in southwest England, has sandy beaches, fossil cliffs, medieval towns and moorland national parks, with the English Riviera taking in harbour towns including Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. 

North Devon 

The North Devon coastline takes in some 66 square miles of designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This mainly coastal landscape stretches from around the traditional seaside resort of Ilfracombe to the Hartland Peninsula. 

As such, North Devon offers dramatic cliffs and rocky coves, laced with long stretches of sandy beaches and undulating dunes. There are also any number of small villages, including Clovelly, market towns and seaside resorts, including Ilfracombe, and a wide choice of accommodation and ‘wining and dining’, with an emphasis on locally sourced produce.
