Enjoy a quality lifestyle in one of the country’s finest locations

The county of Devon is renowned for its rich and varied landscape, from the fascinating rocks and sandy beaches of the Jurassic Coast to the rugged moorlands or spectacular rolling countryside. In addition to beautiful beaches and stunning scenery, you’ll find National Parks, rustic villages and towns, historic buildings and ruins, extreme sports and the best in food and drink.

Devon boasts five areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO Geopark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and two National Parks. Perhaps the most famous of the National Parks is Dartmoor. Its rugged beauty inspired Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, and has been used as the backdrop for Hollywood blockbusters.

Plymouth and Exeter both might be situated in Devon, but they each have distinctive characters of their own. Plymouth is a city steeped in history and the scene of Sir Francis Drake’s legendary game of bowls and is also hailed as the cultural centre of the county. With great theatre, live music and art galleries, it’s full of excitement and entertainment for the whole family.

Exeter also has its fair share of history, with parts of the city dating back to Roman times. However, it also boasts a superb high street with cobbled streets and squares housing high street and independent shops and boutiques. If you’re looking for a relaxing cultural getaway with plenty of opportunity for retail therapy, then Exeter’s the place for you.
