Curated Coast, Country, and Culture

Devon is the only county in England with two separate coastlines, and they couldn’t be more different. To the north, you have the Atlantic battering against massive cliffs and golden surf beaches like Woolacombe and Croyde. To the south, the English Channel is calmer, filled with sailing boats, hidden coves, and the palm-lined estuaries of Salcombe and Dartmouth.

But the real magic often happens inland. Between these two shores lies the wild, open space of Dartmoor National Park. It is a place of granite Tors, wild ponies, and ancient woodlands that feel like they haven’t changed in a thousand years. Whether you are looking for a challenging hike or just a quiet spot to watch the sunset, the contrast between the rugged moors and the gentle countryside is what makes a Devon holiday so special.

This guide is designed to help you find the authentic side of the county. We look beyond the usual tourist traps to find historic pubs with the best local ales, family attractions that are actually worth the entry fee, and coastal walks that offer the most dramatic views along the South West Coast Path

Food is also a massive part of life here. From fresh crab sandwiches on the quayside to a proper cream tea (remember: cream first, then jam), the local produce is world-class.
