Devon Attractions

The choice of attractions in Devon is endless, with family attractions, historic sites and gardens and a wealth of outdoor attractions that don’t cost a penny, there’s always something to get involved in.

Devon has plenty of quality attractions including award winning animal centres like Pennywell Farm, Paignton Zoo and the National Marine Aquarium.  Families and couples who appreciate something more active can always enjoy the great outdoors and zip through the treetops at the River Dart Adventure Centre or take the rope challenge at Go Ape.  

Alternatively you can travel back in time at Bygones Victorian street or explore one of the many National Trust properties such as Castle Drogo or Buckland Abbey where history comes alive. 

Discover the history of Devon at one of the stately homes such as Hartland Abbey, or interact with the animals and exhibits at World of Country Life.

Walk in the footsteps of Devon’s famous children such as Dame Agatha Christie and Sir Francis Drake, or learn about the geology that shaped the county’s landscape. Chill out with the penguins at Living Coasts or nature-watch at one of the Devon estuaries.

If you prefer something a little less demanding then ride a Seaton Tram along the Axe Valley or take a steam train down the River Dart from Buckfastleigh to Totnes. 

There’s so much to see all year round in England’s third largest county.
