A trip South Devon, with its scenic seaside villages and charming country towns including the peaceful South Hams, is something that every traveller should do. It is famed for its sub-tropical climate, where sophisticated gardens and wine producing vineyards flourish. Its meandering coastline of beautiful beaches, bustling seaside towns and pretty villages is ripe for exploration. There is an abundance of all-weather attractions, from sprawling Paignton Zoo where you can meet some of the animals to nostalgic days out on the South Devon Railway. Eagerly anticipated events throughout the year include local beer festivals, thriving markets, the English Riviera Air Show, the Brixham Pirate Festival and the International Agatha Christie Festival.
The South Devon coastline merges with the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site which extends into Dorset, offering up interesting glimpses into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods so it’s ideal for those who love delving into the past or spend a day in the maritime city of Plymouth, ideal for shoppers and historians alike.
