Devon
Devon is a beautiful part of England often neglected by those people travelling through to Cornwall it has some of the most spectacular villages and countryside as well as some of the nicest people in the country.
To the south you have the massive Dartmoor National Park and on the north coast you have the smaller Exmoor National Park, both with their own communities of wild ponies (!) and where development is extremely limited though you will find some some small, old towns such as Tavistock. The south coast is also where you will find a lot of seaside towns such as Exmouth, Teignmouth, Brixham and the most famous of them all Torquay which are packed during the summer.
Exeter is the “county town” (or capital) of Devon with a compact, lively city centre and cathedral while Plymouth is the biggest, though not the nicest, city.
