Devon is one of the counties located in the southwest of the UK and bordered by the English Channel to the south. It is one of England’s best-kept secret, owing to its unspoiled wilderness and rural areas. Much of Devon’s economy is reliant on tourism, catering to tourists eager to see the pristine stretches of lands and jagged coasts. Popular tourist spots here include the national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor as well as its picturesque countryside. The county is never short of famous beaches too. The borough of Torbay, also known as “English Riviera”, features a lot of sandy beaches and resort towns. Seaside resorts are plentiful in the county to keep the sea-loving travelers happy, while the rural stays across the county are sure to please nature enthusiasts.
