Devon is best known as a tourist destination, with visitors flocking to the County's beaches. Home to the English Rivera, Devon has been a popular tourist destination since Victorian times. The popular Seaside resorts of the South Coast contrast with the rugged coastline of the North, ensuring there is a stretch of sandy for everyone. The wild countryside of Dartmoor & Exmoor both rich in wildlife and great views are also a top destination.
Top attractions such as Babbacombe Model Village, the Milky Way Adventure Park and the historic village of Clovelly make Devon a great place to holiday for visitors of all ages. The great mix of beaches, from popular lifeguarded beaches safe for families to craggy coves popular with the most hardened surfers, ensures there is always a cheap and fun way to spend the day.
Whilst in Devon visitors can enjoy the county's excellent selection of local produce from Devonshire cream teas to scrumpy cider. Visitors can even test Devon's controversial claim to be the inventors of the Cornish Pasty.
