I LOVE DEVON BECAUSE…

I love Devon because the beautiful rolling hills make me feel at peace. I feel so lucky to have all of the stunning beaches and wild freedom of Dartmoor on our doorstep. The community spirit in Devon is fantastic. I’m also a real foodie, so get very excited about all of the fresh, local produce available throughout Devon.
