Living in Devon
A patchwork of landscapes
Being a coastal county means you can live on the doorstep of silky, sandy beaches and the beautiful blue sea. The weather isn’t too bad either, with the seaside air taking the bite out of the winter and making summer even more enjoyable. This means you can enjoy that classic coastal lifestyle all year round if you buy a new house here.
The county is also rich in rural landscapes and majestic cliffs that line the coast. There are three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) and a National Park to explore, such as Blackdown Hills, East Devon, and Dartmoor National Park.
Activities and amenities
Rural locations are often thought to be quiet places, but that doesn’t apply here. This is an energetic county that has plenty on offer for friends, family and even solo days out. The scenic landscapes are fantastic locations for water sports, horse riding, rock climbing and so much more.
Whether you’re relaxing at one of the county’s many spas, visiting a grand estate, or strolling around one of its many museums, you’ll never be bored living here. See the idyllic countryside from inside the South Devon Railway, explore the caves in Kents Cavern or meet some animals at one of its many wildlife parks and zoos. And when you start to feel tired at the end of the day, cosy up in a cafe with a classic Devonshire cream tea.
