Devon Essentials

Devon’s diverse landscape spans from the 185-million-year-old geological formations of the Jurassic Coast to the granite tors and expansive moorlands of Dartmoor National Park. This selection highlights the county’s architectural evolution, including the Gothic vaulting of Exeter Cathedral and the 20th-century granite construction of Castle Drogo. Maritime history is preserved at the riverside Dartmouth Castle and Buckland Abbey, the former home of Sir Francis Drake, while the coastal town of Salcombe offers a glimpse into the region’s sailing heritage.
