Inland Devon with its lush green pastures traversed by narrow, pretty, high-banked lanes surround Dartmoor, one of the country's most spectacular national parks.

Here, for those with a love of the great outdoors and the sheer beauty of the countryside, you will find many fascinating visitor centres, attractions and picturesque beauty spots, all waiting to be explored and with local people only too willing to offer help.

The county's two major cities, Exeter and Plymouth, have a rich and interesting history. Plymouth, with its proud naval tradition, is where Drake played bowls while awaiting the Spanish Armada. The City still plays host to ships of the Royal Navy and visitors from around the world. Exeter, the county town, is a bustling and exciting city dominated by its spectacular cathedral. It also has many interesting museums and visitor attractions.

Devon's coastal resorts are without doubt some of the most exciting and beautiful in the country. Whether you visit the north or south of the county you won't be disappointed, the awe-inspiring scenery will be long remembered.
