Devon Tourist Information

 
 

Devon tourist information by John Fowler UKA 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.
