Farm Holidays
Basing your walking holiday on a Devon farm can be an attractive prospect, as many of our rural destinations are set in peaceful farmland, much of which can be explored comfortably on foot. In fact, staying on a working farm and making use of the public footpaths in the surrounding area can make for an incredibly rewarding start to your walking holiday and really help you settle into your stay.
The Coast Path
In Devon we're lucky enough to have two stunning coastlines, both of which are a short trip away from any area of the county and offer some absolutely breathtaking scenery. Enjoy a picturesque trail and uninterrupted views, breath the fresh sea air and try to spot some of our abundant rural wildlife - no matter what you are looking for in a walking holiday, you will find it here.
Dartmoor & Exmoor
No trip to Devon would be complete without experiencing our protected moorland. Walking on the moors is a unique experience, and one that can be tackled by all ages and abilities. From afternoon strolls to full day excursions, Dartmoor and Exmoor offer enough moorland rambles between them to fill any itinerary. We have curated a list of the best walking holiday accommodation in Devon, so if you are planning the trip of a lifetime click below to browse.
