To the east, the charming towns of Ottery St Mary, Axminster,<br />
Tiverton and Honiton provide a host of niche and bespoke<br />
shops and cafes. Further South, the unique towns of Totnes,<br />
Kingsbridge, Modbury, Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey are<br />
full of heritage and culture, offering striking castles, arts and<br />
crafts, and grand country houses with spectacular gardens.<br />
If you love to get active, at Haldon Forest you can swing<br />
through the trees, enjoy a ride on a Segway or speed round<br />
the off-road cycling tracks. For a gentler pace explore, on foot<br />
or by bike, the miles of the pathways running along the Exe<br />
and Teign Estuaries. And there are plenty of things to keep<br />
the children happy, from parks and farms with cuddly animals<br />
to theme parks and action-packed days out - you’ll find your<br />
perfect family day out right here.<br />
The exceptional quality of <strong>Devon</strong> food and drink means that<br />
the area is famous for its award-winning restaurants, food<br />
festivals, and markets. Everything is on offer, from <strong>Devon</strong>shire<br />
Cream Teas, fresh local seafood, local wine and ales, and to top<br />
it all off, local ice creams and fudges.<br />
The area hosts a packed events calendar all year round so you<br />
can be sure what ever time of year you visit there is always<br />
things to see and do.<br />
Whatever the reason for your visit, there is accommodation to<br />
suit, from boutique hotels, to lodges in the woods, beachside<br />
camping sites to cosy B&B’s, finding a place to relax at the end<br />
of a day’s exploring couldn’t be easier.<br />
