Devon Tourist Information
A
John Fowler Holidays holiday offers the best of both worlds
with a wide range of holiday accommodation available throughout
England’s glorious West Country.
Whether you are camping,
in a caravan or enjoying any one of our
superb holiday homes and cottages,
our holiday parks in Devon are well-located
on both the North and South coasts. From these strategic locations,
you are always within easy access of all the attractions of this
unique and historically-rich county.
On offer are rugged cliffs, white pebble beaches,
stretches of golden sands, quaint fishing ports, hidden wooded estuaries
and the Jurassic Coast - England's first natural World Heritage
Site. The choice along Devon's dual coastlines is varied and fun,
offering something for enthusiasts and beginners of all ages. You
can enjoy everything from sailing, surfing and canoeing - to boat
trips, fishing and diving.
Inland,
you can marvel at the spectacular sights of green
rolling hills, and wooded river valleys as well as lively market
towns and traditional villages. Or you can try some fishing, riding
or simply walking the miles of way-marked footpaths and bridleways
to discover welcoming country pubs, specialist shops and lively
farmers' markets. The ancient woodlands of Dartmoor and several
wildlife and nature reserves are also on your doorstep
in beautiful Devon.
But that’s not all this exciting county has
to offer. Devon is also rich in history and heritage. You can step
back in time and explore historic cities or discover seafaring characters
like Drake and Raleigh, the settings for novels by Agatha Christie
and Conan Doyle – plus many myths and legends of old sea dogs,
smuggler and shipwrecks. The county also abounds with ancient cathedrals
and churches as well as historic houses and industrial sites that
all have their own tale to tell.
With such a rich heritage its not surprising that
there are an abundance of heritage centres, events, exhibitions
and attractions bringing to life Devon's long and diverse history,
such as at Morewellham Quay near Tavistock or Coldharbour Mill near
Cullompton.
Whichever John Fowler Holiday park you decide to
holiday at in Devon (or you might like to move around and stay at
several), you are never more than a day’s excursion from any
of these popular and exciting attractions.
