East Devon is arguably one of the most attractive areas of the county, the majority of the area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so if sights, wildlife and historical interest are high on your holiday priorities list, this is the ideal place to stay.
Because of its diverse range of attractions, East Devon is a great place to holiday even during a winter get away. For the summer months, you can enjoy the outdoors at the Duck's Ditty Bar, Devon’s only canal barge café bar, floating and fully licenced, it is an interesting way to while away a sunny afternoon. If floating is an activity you’d rather do sober, you can experience the tranquil rivers around the county at the Devon Canoe and Rowing Boat Hire. Choose from a range of boats available hourly and go for a leisurely cruise around the Grand Western Canal, which is a registered country park and local nature reserve. If you have family members who don’t fancy discovering their inner sailor, they will still feel at home on the grounds, the setting gives you a great opportunity to get close to nature and explore at your own pace. For those looking for something a tad more active, East Devon has the 7 Day South west Coast Path Trail for you to spend time taking in the beautiful sights of the coast line. Walkers might also be interested in the East Devon Way, which links together footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes to create a route that winds itself inland to link Exmouth and Lyme Regis, so you can really explore all the diversity of the natural landscape the area has to offer. It is perfect for the history buffs among you, as the route will take you by pre-historic hill forts, bronze age burial mounds, Saxon villages and Medieval manors.
If the weather disappoints, as it so often does in Britain, you can still broaden your knowledge by visiting the Lyme Regis Museum and taking part in one of their fossil walks. The museum offers a wide range of events throughout the year and children get free entry, making it the perfect hideaway for if the rain makes an appearance.
To keep the little ones amused, there is always the Bear Trail, one of the area’s award winning family attractions, the trail is an outdoor assault course. For the adults, relax in one of the many spas the region offers, such as the spa at the Victoria Hotel which compromises of two swimming pools, a tennis court and an 18 hole putting green as well as all the usual soothing facilities you would expect from a spa.
East Devon and the Jurassic Coast has some of the most beautiful beaches in the region, most of which are found in quant towns and villages, such as Sidmouth or Seaton where a variety of local produce, as well as high street shops and restaurants can be found, along with traditional pubs and some of the best hotels in the South West. There are plenty of places with room available for your four legged friends as well, take a look at our dog-friendly Devon pages to see which accommodation will guarantee a wonderful holiday for your dog as well.
