If there’s one thing Devon is renowned for, it’s as the perfect destination for a family holiday. We’ve been welcoming families to our beautiful part of the world for well over a century, so we’re pretty sure we’ve got the family-friendly holiday formula perfect!

A county of glorious contrasts – from sweeping beaches to wild moorland – Devon has everything you want for a great family-friendly holiday at any time of the year. From February half term, the Easter break, May half term, the main summer school holidays, to October half term getaways, the English Riviera is open all year round.

Boasting theme parks, award-winning sandy beaches and plenty of indoor attractions just in case the clouds make an appearance, the English Riviera region of Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Babbacombe is the jewel in Devon’s crown.
