5 reasons you should staycation in Devon
Whether you’ve been tasked with planning the ultimate UK hen do or are in charge of finding somewhere for the annual family get-together, why not consider Devon? It’s the perfect place for rest, relaxation and adventure, and it’s even been dubbed the English Riviera. That’s not the only reason to staycation in Devon though.
Beautiful sandy beaches
Devon is home to some of the UK’s best beaches and, when the weather’s on your side, you really could be somewhere international. Mix up your days with sunbathing and splashing, adventure along the Jurassic Coast towards the South West Coast Path, and explore the likes of rock pools and sand dunes before a spot of surfing and wild swimming. However you like to enjoy the beaches, you’re sure to be able to do it here.
Everyone’s invited
Foodies, sports fans, cultural enthusiasts and walkers all love Devon and what it has to offer. For families, there’s no shortage of activities including boat trips, zoos, railway journeys and museums. Couples are sure to fall in love at one of the award-winning restaurants and those looking for dog-friendly staycation ideas won’t be disappointed either. In fact, Devon is home to lots of pet-friendly beaches and walks. Dog-friendly pubs mean everyone can refuel after a long day in the town too.
Delicious food and drink
Devon is firmly putting itself on the food and drink map - thanks to beach pop-ups, incredible seafood restaurants and gastro pubs that focus on local produce. There’s also a range of Farmer’s Markets and artisan food stalls that appear throughout the month. You could even stock up on some delicious treats, enjoy them at a beachside picnic or take them back to your private accommodation for a feast everyone will enjoy.
Varied landscapes
While holidays in Devon might be focused on coastal trips, it’s not the only thing that attracts visitors. In fact, there’s also lots of countryside and woodland to explore. Head to Exmoor National Park for bundles of natural beauty, and walking hotspots, and don’t forget about Dartmoor either. You could also take the ferry to Lundy Island - an unspoiled and peaceful attraction. Of course, wherever you are in Devon, a game of wildlife bingo is sure to keep the kids on board. Look out for foxes, bats, badgers and deer and see who can spot the most.
