The county of <Devon is located in southwest England on a peninsula of lovely beaches, ancient cliffs, and historic buildings.

While it does get very cold in the winter, during the summer Devon plays host to a climate that is practically Mediterranean, and every year it attracts thousands of tourists to the region.

The beaches of Devon offer kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, and plenty of opportunity for swimming and boating as well as for days spent relaxing with a book in the sunshine.

Hikers will love the South West Coast Path, which follows the coast in Devon and leads to many stunning rock formations, fossilized cliffs, and views of the water.
