Welcome
to the Heart of Devon
Located in the south west of England
with the historic city of Exeter as its
centre, the Heart of Devon stretches
to the east along the World Heritage
Jurassic Coast towards Lyme Regis,
north over hundreds of square miles
of rolling countryside and river
valleys towards Exmoor National Park,
west towards the great wilderness of
Dartmoor National Park, and south to
the Victorian and Georgian seaside
towns of Dawlish and Teignmouth.
The pace of life here is relaxed, the
people are friendly and the food
is delicious! Unspoilt countryside
including two Areas of Outstanding
Natural Beauty, Dartmoor National Park,
miles of sand and pebble beaches, and
a vibrant culture and heritage in its
historic towns and traditional fishing
villages, makes the Heart of Devon
the perfect destination for all. This
guide is designed to help you plan your
holiday with details of accommodation,
attractions, areas to visit, as well as
ideas for once you’ve arrived in the
Heart of Devon.
We look forward to welcoming you!
