There are a plethora of ways to enjoy the scenery, including cycling along the Tarka Trail, hiking the South West Coast Path, and white water kayaking in Exmoor National Park. Along the coast, visit charming towns like Dartmouth or Salcombe, try water sports like sailing, surfing, or scuba diving, or pick a beautiful beach to lounge on. There are many outstanding attractions to check out as well, from the family-friendly National Marine Aquarium to the breathtaking grounds of the RHS Garden Rosemoor.
