Devon is a unique and naturally beautiful county in the south-west of England, with two National Parks, Dartmoor and Exmoor, rolling green hills, rugged cliffs and an abundance of rivers and woodlands. It is the only county in England with two separate coastlines, a total of 250 miles – over half of which has been designated as Heritage Coast.
There are two cities in Devon. The capital is Exeter but the larger city is Plymouth. Devon also has many market towns and pretty villages plus of course there are numerous beaches of every type, some with long sandy stretches, others with rocky coves and rockpools to climb and explore.
There is an abundance of outdoor adventures to be had in Devon – with golf courses, horse riding, kayaking, paddle boarding, abseiling, canoeing, fishing and cycle tracks. There are also many Amusement Parks such as The Big Sheep, Crealy Adventure Park, Woodlands and Diggerland. You can swing through the trees at Go Ape in Haldon Forest or go skiing at Plymouth Ski and Snowboard Centre.
There is also a wealth of museums, art galleries and theatres all over Devon, such as Dawlish Museum, Teignmouth’s own Teign Heritage Centre, The Devon Guild of Craftsmen in Bovey Tracey, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) in Exeter, Dartmoor Prison Museum, Babbacombe Model Village and the Torquay Museum.
“If you pick to stay here, you won’t go wrong at all! Great flat, fabulous location for everything in Teignmouth and amazing sea views. The flat was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. If we come back to Teignmouth again, we would definitely choose to stay here.”
“Lovely apartment, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great sea views across the town. Comfortable beds. A short walk from supermarket, train station and town centre, but a bit of a hill on the way back. Lovely to find tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival. Would highly recommend!”
“We absolutely LOVED our stay at Flat 18, Anchor view. To be able to see the sunrise and the sunset from the balcony was an unexpected delight. The sea is a 7 minute very easy walk through the town. The apartment couldn’t have been cleaner!! So congratulations to whoever does the cleaning. Some people might be put off by the train line immediately below, and the noise from the industrial units and harbour cranes. These do all stop at night though. And it didn’t bother us enough to not return again. We will be coming back again and again, as we could never tire of the view you are greeted with once you enter the lounge. Thank you for a wonderful stay.”
