Devon

A county of dual coastlines and the ancient Dartmoor wilderness in southwest England, featuring ancient stone relics, historic estates, and harbor towns.

Devon is located on the southwest peninsula of England, bordered by the sea to both the north and south, with the granite highlands of Dartmoor National Park in its interior. On the moor, you can climb Haytor and Hound Tor, see the Postbridge Clapper Bridge and the moss-covered Wistman's Wood, and visit Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Lydford Gorge. Historical highlights include Exeter Cathedral, Buckfast Abbey, Castle Drogo, and Buckland Abbey, while Dartmouth in the south offers a beautiful harbor, with nearby Greenway serving as the former home of Agatha Christie. Spring to autumn is the best time to visit. Gateways include Exeter Airport and railway station, with direct train services from London.
