Devon is a very large county (the fourth largest in the UK) bordered by Dorset and Somerset to the East and Cornwall to the West. It boasts a northern and southern coastline which are both stunning in different ways. The Southern East Devon Coastline still falls within the World Heritage Site and the North Coast is home to Braunton Burrows, a stunning dune complex. This diverse and picturesque landscape lends itself perfectly for movie locations and hence films like Sense and Sensibility and more recently War Horse have been filmed here.

The county town is the Cathedral City of Exeter located on the River Exe. The City dates back to Norman times and is full of character and ancient history.

On the East Devon/ Dorset borders lies Honiton, a town made famous for its lace making in days gone by. Today the town is popular and offers easy access East via the A30 and its busy railway station.

Dartmoor, which is centrally located within the county, consists of 365 square miles of protected wilderness. It is a world away from the South Hams and steeply wooded estuaries on the one side, and the central plane running North East from Exeter on the other. The county is renowned as one of micro - climates especially where rainfall is concerned – you just need to ask the locals!

Architecture, building materials and types of house vary from thatched Devon long houses on the moors to seaside villas built by retired Captains in Nelson’s Navy!

On the South Coast, with its estuaries like the Dart and towns like Salcombe and Kingsbridge in the South Hams, all comprise to make this area a sailor’s paradise and a very popular destination for holidaymakers. The North Coast is quite different with magnificent views along its rocky and bleak shoreline. The North Devon Coast has in recent times become a ‘mecca’ for surfers especially around Bude and Croyde Bay.
