Devon is one of the warmest places in the UK and it is in part thanks to the warm climate that the locally produced foods and drinks are so good! The south coast of Devon is one of the best places to go for a warm, sunny break.

Devon is full of beautiful places including quaint villages, like Clovelly and Cockington that are perfect for strolling around on a warm day. Other villages that are worth a visit include Appledore and Lynton and Lynmouth, especially if you want to take a few photos and feel like you’ve been transported back to a simpler time. These villages are the perfect place for finding a cosy tea room and settling in for a cream tea!
The best ice cream in the UK.
Look, we’re not bragging here but Devon is world renowned for its deliciously creamy dairy products and it is that same cream and milk that goes into the ice cream you can find at resorts all over the county. There are even special ice cream flavours for dogs for you to find!
