Our Devon holidays & tours

Our Devon holidays immerse you in rural peace and beauty, with wonderful accommodation available, including an award-winning eco lodge that has been producing its own green energy for years, and where your stay helps fund their many biodiversity projects. Here you might hear owls hooting at night, or see dormice scuttling around, and walk through meadows scattered with colourful orchids.

You can enjoy a host of fun car-free adventures on our Devon tours. That might mean cycling  gently along the Traka Trail, converted from an old railway line – recommendations for local farm shops, pubs and classic Devon cream teas available by the basketful. You could find yourself walking the South West Coastal Path, staying in welcoming, family-run guest houses as you go. Or there is the option to tour Devon, taking in Dartmoor and the Jurassic Coast perhaps, as well as parts of Bath and Cornwall on a rail tour escorted by a brilliant local guide.

DEVON MAP & HIGHLIGHTS

The Jurassic Coast, shared with Dorset in the southeast, Dartmoor, south of centre, and Exmoor, straddling Somerset, in the north, all present wild and untamed Devon far from the hushed chatter in the county’s corner cafes. Walking and cycling trails nearly always lead to a pub with market towns like Okehampton, on the northern skirts of Dartmoor, and centrally located farming villages, like Winkleigh, inviting a deliciously authentic slice of Devonshire life. From the Tarka Trail between Barnstaple and Bideford, to the protected dunes, wetlands and Blue Flag beaches of Dawlish Warren, Devon deserves to be devoured – length and breadth.
Dartmoor

1. Dartmoor

‘Beware the Great Grimpen Mire!’ And you’ll do well to heed the warning before setting out over the peat sodden bogs of Dartmoor National Park. But fear not, Dartmoor isn’t one giant quagmire and there aren’t any hounds either, just ponies, sheep and cows. So press your boots over grass and moss, past granite tors and trickling streams, on some of Britain’s most magical moors.
Dawlish Warren

2. Dawlish Warren

Set where the Exe Estuary enters the English Channel, Dawlish Warren is an old fashioned stretch of seaside from where to get lost amongst the salt marches, mudflats and sand dunes backing onto the Blue Flag Warren Beach. Twitchers will be in their element over autumn with thousands of wildfowl and waders returning to make the most of warmer climes amongst the protected natural wetlands.
Granite Way

3. Granite Way

Cycle or walk the 18km trail that skirts north of Dartmoor and discover Devon’s propensity for granite with Okehampton Castle, Lake Viaduct and the legendary tors on the moors highlighting the relationship between man and rock. Pubs at either end, as well as midway in Meldon, offer respite although valley views from Meldon Viaduct also provide a perfect pause en route.
Lydford Gorge

4. Lydford Gorge

Delving into southwest England’s deepest gorge can be slightly sticky, with several slippery sections, over granite, making the 5km walk through oak, chestnut and laurel woods, around the Lyd River, best undertaken by those with a surer foot. White Lady Waterfall – Devon’s longest at 30m – is a real highlight alongside the Devil’s Cauldron although a flash of kingfisher or heron can be just as sought after.
South West Coast Path

5. South West Coast Path

Stretching around the entirety of Britain’s southwest coast, for over 1,000km, the North Devon section of the SWCP features a succession of shorter, accessible trails to lead walkers past secret smugglers’ bays, vast stretches of sand and secluded scree-covered cliffs and hillsides. Seabirds nest under cliff edges whilst marsh and woodlands offer rest for migratory birds heading south.
Tarka Trail

6. Tarka Trail

The Tarka Trail streaks across Devon in a figure of eight for almost 300km via well-posted paths and disused rail tracks, perfect for walking and cycling. Stations from Exeter to Barnstaple (the Tarka Line) enable hopping on and hopping off after walking sections of the trail which abound with woodland valleys, riverbanks, moors and coastal stretches, as well as village pubs and bike hire centres.
