Devon is, arguably, the UK’s most scenic county: bordered on two sides by the sea; containing two National Parks; the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site; and 5 designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

In 2003 Country Life magazine voted Devon England’s top county after an exhaustive survey taking into account such factors as the environment, crime levels, school standards and amenities to come up with a quality of life index.

“Devon is the best county in England by a thumping great margin… Devon basks in a sunny climate, typically enjoying 1,464 bright sunshine hours a year … It has 300 miles of exquisite coastline, the bleak beauty of Dartmoor, a chunk of unspoilt Exmoor, as well as its characteristic combes, vast hanging copses of oak and beech, and rugged, still-healthy rivers."
