devon

Devon is big - the third biggest county - and unlike any other county, it has two separate coastlines. There are two National Parks, two World Heritage Sites, two cities, some fantastic old towns and thousands of villages.

It certainly takes some getting to know. Hopefully we can help - by picking out The Best Places for you. Keep coming back. We'll be adding more and more as we get the time and enthusiasm.

In the meantime, this year's acclaimed new book revealing the best places in the county is simply called 'Devon' by travel writer Simon Heptinstall. The Mail on Sunday have called it 'definitive guide to Devon'. And The Best Places think it's the best you can get. It's available to order online at the publisher's site crimsonpublishing.co.uk or try amazon.co.uk or any good bookseller.
