Devon – coastlines, surf beaches and countryside in southwest England

Devon lies in southwest England and is one of the most scenic regions in the country for a holiday combining coast and countryside. The county is known for its dramatic coastlines, sandy beaches, rolling hills and traditional English villages. With both the English Channel and the Atlantic shaping its shores, Devon offers an exceptionally varied landscape.

Along the south coast you will find seaside towns such as Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, together known as the English Riviera. These coastal resorts feature harbours, beaches and lively seaside promenades. The north coast of Devon is famous for its surf beaches, including Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands.

One of the highlights for walkers is the famous South West Coast Path. This spectacular long-distance trail follows the dramatic coastline and offers impressive views over cliffs, bays and the open sea.

Inland Devon is equally attractive, with landscapes shaped by Dartmoor National Park and Exmoor National Park. These areas feature open moorland, wooded valleys and scenic walking routes.

Campsites in Devon are often located close to the coast or within easy reach of the countryside. The region is ideal for travellers looking to combine beaches, nature and the traditional landscapes of southwest England.
