Devon is home to lots of incredible natural formations and old communities. However, the best cities and towns in the region are those that combine nature and accommodations to give holidaymakers both memorable experiences and comfort. These four towns should definitely be on any vacationers list when planning a holiday in Devon.
1. Teigngrace When you have 114 acres of heaths, grass fields, and woodlands surrounding a majestic lake and a web of marshes to explore, you will definitely need more than a day to enjoy everything. This frequented nature park is one of the reasons why Teigngrace is one of the best towns for a holiday in Devon even though it is more the size of a village.
What makes it a family-friendly go-to destination is the opportunity it gives to holidaymakers to learn more about natural wonders in a more educational approach, while actually giving all the perks a resort has to offer. The Nature Interpretation Centre, which fronts the park, offers picnic areas, aerial balconies and walkways, a poetry trail, bird hides, and different structures for the exhibited dioramas. Kids can learn in the classroom facilities or just enjoy the interactive displays.
2. Plymouth At the other end of the scale this thriving city is not like any other modern cities in UK because it has successfully merged technology, culture and nature to keep attracting some of the most demanding vacationers. Located on Devons south coast, its rich history and heritage make it one of the best places for a holiday as it offers attractions as old as the Bronze Age. It even has some structures and artefacts from the time of the Roman Empire.
The city has a lot of still-standing structures from the Renaissance period to the World War I, but it also offers towering hotels and sprawling shopping centres. Modern amenities alongside antique architectural wonders are a common scene here, so do not be surprised if you find yourself loving history and culture while enjoying the benefits of modernity. Plymouth is definitely one of the most important cities in England.
3. Torquay Torquay may not be one of the most famous English tourist destinations, but it definitely has everything the best shoreline towns and cities have to offer. Frequently called the English Riviera because of its climate, the town has been considered a seaside resort since the 1800s. A plethora of hotels and B&Bs line the seafront, and there are some fantastic holiday cottages by the sea in this Devon resort for superb self-catering holidays in the Torquay area. In fact, some of its most notable holidaymakers were the Royal Navy and the elites of the Victorian society. Today, it continues to be a bustling harbour town while continuously attracting tourists with its charming shorelines.
4. Beer They do not celebrate the alcoholic beverage like they do in Germany, but its picturesque sceneries will definitely intoxicate you with awe. Located within Englands first World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast southeast of Devon, vacationers are up for an unforgettable experience as they enjoy geographical marvels from millions of years ago. The town only has a population of less than two thousand, but the number of tourists that flock its most popular beach, the Beer Head, is certainly enough to make it one of the best spots for a holiday.
