The South West Coast Path covers 630 miles of superb coastal walking and is one of the best ways to explore Devon's superb coastline, heritage and wildlife. You could even enter bordering counties such as Dorset, Cornwall or Somerset and expand your journey even more.
Other than offering an opportunity for water sports and walking, Devon's coastline also has a number of quaint, picturesque towns dotted along the shore. Some 'must see' towns on the South Coast in South Hams include Dartmouth with its luxury Devon hotels, renowned restaurants and cafes and the town of Salcombe which is lined with boutique shops, galleries and restaurants. Towns on the North Coast include Woolacombe Bay with its 3 mile sandy beach, Ilfracombe and the historic fishing village of Clovelly.
Devon's Countryside

In the heart of the county lies Dartmoor National Park with its heather clad rolling hills, stone tors and ancient woodland. Devon's landscape also provides the perfect arable farmland where quality produce is quickly distributed to South West restaurants and hotels. Heading north, near towns such as Lynton and Lynmouth you'll find the other Devon wonder, Exmoor National Park which is situated right on the coastline and covers 189 acres.
