Devon is a deservedly popular tourist destination. Just the sheer length of coastline, both north and south provides more sandy shores and seaside resorts than anyone can envisage. The beaches draw families every year during the summer to play on the beach and paddle in the sea. The waves are bigger in north Devon which attracts surfers. Croyde is one such popular surfing beach - find holiday homes to rent in Croyde. Coastal walks are another attraction. Walking along well trodden paths with rolling fields and woodland on one side, and sea views on the other is favoured by many.
Inland, the Devon countryside is most pleasing to the eye and some of the prettiest in England. Charming picture postcard villages with thatched cottages enhance the view. During the summer, the towns and villages are adorned with hanging baskets of flowers and every attempt is made to give holidaymakers a good time. There are two national parks in Devon; the Dartmoor National Park in the south west and the Exmoor National Park that skirts the north coast. Find Exmoor holiday cottages with comfortable beds.
A little south of Dartmoor is the Tamar Valley where the countryside is broken by rivers and streams. The Tamar Estuary is a good holiday cottage destination which promises boating and messing around on the riverbank.
Anyone on holiday can never be bored in Devon, there is a seemingly endless visit of places to visit for all ages. Crealy Park is a favourite with children, the donkey sanctuary near Sidmouth an all family treat.
