Autumn Adventures in Devon
The English Riviera has designated UNESCO Global Geopark status, one of only seven in the UK and 140 in the whole world. The area’s extraordinary landscape and unique natural habitat attracts a colourful variety of protected wildlife and rare plants and is the perfect setting for family walks, nature spotting and cycling. The English Riviera is the perfect spot to take in the blustery coastal air, to stretch your legs and listen to the sound of fallen leaves crunching under foot.
Savour the mouth-watering tastes of the seaside with the classic fish and chips, best enjoyed alfresco style or served in a stunning waterfront location. Devon’s Beautiful Bay is known as England’s Seafood Coast and is home to some of the UK’s finest quality fish and shellfish, caught and landed locally in Brixham.
Get Outside For October Half Term
Autumn is also the West Country’s cider making and foraging season when refreshing ciders and scrumptious apple and pumpkin-filled delicacies are created and readily available in the local pubs and inns, cafes and restaurants. Local fayres celebrate the season, showcasing South West food and drink suppliers and their impressive range of produce.
