Rentals by the Beach, in a Town or by a National Park
Devon flaunts a northern coast to the Irish Sea and a southern coast on the English Riviera by the English Channel, with fantastic national parks and landscapes in between. Devon’s northern coast portrays more rugged qualities, featuring some of the highest cliffs in the south of the UK including the infamous, “Great Hangman” cliff in the Exmoor National Park which towers over the coast at just over 300 metres. Towards the north west of Devon lies the summer paradise of Woolacombe Bay. With its long sandy beach with a backdrop of steep cliffs and majestic rolling hills, the bay attracts many types of holiday makers from families looking for a perfect British beach break,
walkers to explore the diverse terrain and surfers to take advantage of the active waves which roll onto the beach. Rolling hills dominate Devon’s Southern landscapes which contain the renowned Dartmoor National Park, with its long endless scenery, enchanting forests and exciting rivers. For holiday makers with pets, this national park is perfect for dogs to run freely and feel at one with nature, with lots of exciting activities on offer for people of all ages.

With 150 miles of cycle paths available throughout the county of Devon, road and off road cyclists have a field day visiting and feel at home in the more rugged north with breath-taking cliffs and the south with its endless rolling hills and forests. The Tarka Trail is hugely popular among cyclists, connecting the 30mile gap between Braunton and Meeth along a picturesque former railway route. Devon offers some truly stunning scenery for not only cycling, but for walking and trekking as well. The Dartmoor National Park features some beautiful walks which should be planned into your itinerary if you are a keen walker. The relatively undisturbed Fingle Bridge walk
is nearly 4miles in length and takes you past stunning meadows and over the picturesque River Teign. The Exmoor National Park offers the hidden yet beautiful trail of Watersmeet, which invites you to discover magical valleys and lush forests by the lazy East Lyn River. Expect cosy pubs and friendly locals during the walk and try some tasty homemade ale typical of the county. Devon isn’t just only great for visits in summer with its stunning beaches, fantastic trails and beautiful National Parks: Colder weather makes for cosier times in cottages and holiday lettings after a refreshing day out in the county. Why not explore Devon in the winter time and sit by the fire in picturesque pubs with a pint of locally sourced ale!
