Wildlife

Wherever you stay in Devon, you’ll never be far from an abundance of wildlife. With 210 sites of special scientific interest, dozens of nature reserves and 33,000 miles of hedgerow (more than any other county!) the variety of flora & fauna, birds and wild animals to discover is breathtaking.

There are areas of Devon associated with particular species such as the grey seals basking in the sun around Lundy Island and the red deer that you may be able to spot on Exmoor.

The marshland, estuaries, forest, moorland and coastlines all offer sightings of creatures in their natural environment and there are organised bird-watching trips, nature trails to follow, rock-pools to discover and some attractions even have bug-hunting events to get stuck into.
