Devon is a beautiful county located in the west of England. The county is surrounded by Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset with remarkable coastlines, which serve as an added attraction to tourists in Europe.
It’s an increasingly popular destination because of its location and other surprising natural attractions.
Getting to Devon
The easiest way to get to Devon is by plane through Exeter International Airport or Plymouth City Airport. Tourists who are already in England could use the train which often leads to Exeter. But a popular option for tourists is to use the boat which arrives in the northern area of the county. Aside from enjoying a smooth boat ride, tourists can also get the chance to see the picturesque towns by the sea.
Popular Attractions
Devon is well known for its beautiful holiday cottages and coastal towns. The most popular town in Devon is Torbay which is located in the eastern end of the county. Highly accessible by train, it is considered the premier tourist destination for Devon because of its beaches.
The county is also home of the “Jurassic Coast” which is 153-kilometer beach line of old rocks. The rocks are believed to be 180 million years old. Complementing the “Jurassic Coast” is the Braunton Burrows which is a collection of sand dunes found in North Devon.
Enjoying the Food
As a coastal community, Devon has established itself as one of the best places in England to enjoy seafood. The food is also complemented with drinks as there are a good number of microbreweries in the county. Devon even has a unique strength of alcohol and a different taste for cider.
