Devon is the land of plenty for outdoorsy people. Flanked by the powerful waters of the Bristol Channel to the north and calmer tides of the English Channel to the south, this county is paradise for those who like to wake up to the smell of fresh sea air. Home to two National Parks, Dartmoor National Park in South Devon and Exmoor National Park in North Devon, the region contains endless rambles and trails to explore and wildlife to spot.
The good times in Devon don’t stop once you step foot back indoors though; the Devon countryside's rolling hills are spotted with picturesque farming villages and they're worth meandering through. Try one of the local delicacies—it’s hard to avoid pasties in Devon (imagine pie meets calzone) and they make for a perfect snack after a day in the hills, along with a proper Devon cider. Or, up the pace and hop on one of the scenic railways to see the best of this colorful corner of England.
With such varied landscapes, cultures and activities, Devon is ideal for a break spent outside, particularly with a whole host of glamping accommodations that are just as diverse as the county's scenery here. Think safari tents, yurts, shepherd's huts, and treehouses— all of which will let you holiday amongst nature on your next getaway, without leaving behind creature comforts like cozy beds, wood stoves, and hot tubs.
