Many of us
think about upping sticks and moving every once in a while; whether you want to
escape the hustle and bustle of London, or move to a bigger city for an
exciting job opportunity. If you’re looking for a change, England’s southwest
county Devon has plenty to offer, including vibrant cities and plenty of
stunning outdoor scenery. If you want to know some of our favourite reasons for
moving to Devon, see just four of the best below.
Local produce
Devon has a
fabulous reputation for high-quality produce, and many top London restaurants
source their meat from Devon farmers as it’s known for being highly
flavoursome. There’s also plenty of wholesome pub food to be found, as well as
rich Devon-made ice cream, the freshest seafood and Devon’s famous afternoon
teas.
Vibrant cities
Devon has
many cities worth visiting, including the historic port of Plymouth and the
capital of the county, Exeter. There’s plenty of history to explore, including
the Gothic Exeter cathedral and tours of the 14th-century tunnels beneath the
city. There’s also plenty to be found at Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum,
including exotic animal displays, world culture galleries and fine art.
Visitors can
also explore maritime history in Plymouth, plus more water attractions at the
Plymouth National Marine Aquarium, picturesque marinas and the iconic Plymouth
fish markets.
The great outdoors
The Devon
countryside has plenty for lovers of the great outdoors, including many
stunning cycling and walking trails, national parks and scenes for photography
or nature enthusiasts. There are also miles of easily accessible beaches for
watersports, sailing or fishing, plus acres of rolling Devonshire hills to
explore.
A mild climate
The UK isn’t
exactly famed for its good weather, but Devon tends to have a milder climate
due to its southeastern location. While Devon is prone to more rain inland
(this is still England after all), regular rain, mild winters and early springs
combine to create the perfect climate for any keen gardeners.
