One of the most obvious draws of South Devon for the visitor is the beautiful coastline, with glorious beaches and coves aplenty, a coastal path that leads the hiker on great adventures, tales of seafaring history, and a contrasting selection of communities to explore.

However, upriver and inland from the coast there is a great selection of things to see and do, attractions to visit, and no end of natural beauty to enjoy.

Take to the water in a number of different ways, either on one of the many boat trips and cruises at sea or up river, or in a kayak or sailing boat. Organised fishing trips are also available. Keep an eye open as nature abounds in these waters, whether it be a playful dolphin or a curious seal.

At any time of year, Kents Cavern provides a fabulous visitor experience, being England's most important cave system. Guided tours provide both an educational and fascinating opportunity to learn about the thousands of years of history attached to these ancient caves.
