Unmissable Devon - Top Ten
1 Clovelly
The flower-bedecked fishing village tumbling down a wooded cliff to a harbour is THE essential Devon sight - but try to time your visit to miss the crowds.
2 Exeter Cathedral
You will have seen a thousand photos of the South West’s most famous building in its historic Close - but the ancient reality is so much better.
3 Plymouth Waterfront
We defy anyone to walk from the Hoe round to the Barbican and not start dreaming about Drake, Raleigh and the old Tudor seadogs.
4 Burgh Island
A unique chance to eat, stay or sip cocktails at a surreal art deco fantasy hotel on its own island - which is at its best when the tide is in.
5 Climb Haytor
It’s worth braving the crowds at Dartmoor’s most popular Tor for the panoramic views - and there are plenty more Tors where that came from.
6 Lynmouth
Artists and poets have been inspired by England’s ‘Little Switzerland’ - and you can be too, especially if you ride the extraordinary cliff railway.
7 Lundy
Think Dartmoor’s rugged and wild? Well imagine a chunk of it adrift in the Atlantic carrying a cargo of seabirds - that’s Lundy.
8 Dartmouth
One of the best views in England is from the ferry across Dartmouth Harbour. Then wander the town for food, history, shopping and sights too.
9 The Torridge Estuary
Appledore has the craftshops and quayside, Instow the galleries and sands, Bideford the history and bridge… and they’ve all got the great Tarka river alongside.
10 Torquay
Still Britain’s greatest traditional seaside resort - with beaches, restaurants, grand villas, Victorian gardens, swaying palms and that extra touch of Mediterranean glamour.
