The best time to visit Devon and Cornwall is in the spring and early summer. You can avoid the crowds and enjoy warm weather and blue skies. The Atlantic Highway is one of the UK’s best road trips. It takes you down the North Coasts of Devon, Cornwall, and then across to the South Coast, finishing in Falmouth, a stunning port city. 

Moors

Exmoor, Dartmoor, and Bodmin Moor all offer a great way to blow away cobwebs. They come alive in the spring. Wildlife is abundant, including wild ponies, hares and kingfishers. There are also rare butterflies and otters. You can choose from a variety of guided walks, festivals, and adventure days, or park and explore on your own.

Castles, stately homes and gardens

In the Mid Devon area, you can visit three magnificent castles: Castle Drogo (the last castle to be built in Britain), Powderham Castle (owned by the Courtenay Family since the 1300s), and Okehampton Castle where it is said that “Wicked Lady Howard” murdered four husbands before building a carriage out of their bones. In Cornwall, visit the legendary Tintagel Castle, which has a long history of Arthurian legend.

Zoos, farms and aquaria

Paignton Zoo, one of Britain’s best zoos with more than 2000 animals and six habitats and the Jungle Express, is home to some of the rarest, most incredible creatures on the planet. Newquay Zoo has a similar variety of species. It also contains a village farm, with traditional farm faces and Toads Hall which highlights the threats facing amphibians all over the world. 

Beaches

Devon and Cornwall are home to hundreds of picturesque seaside towns and beautiful beaches. To name a few, these include Brixham and Salcombe. You will find stunning places to explore and enjoy a walk on the beaches if you travel along either coast.
