Caravan Holidays in Devon
England is known for many iconic attractions both man-made and natural. One county, Devon, is one such location renowned for its picturesque scenery and associated activities. Combine these two factors together in a caravanning holiday and you have all the right ingredients for a memorable vacation, which caters for all types of people.
Devon is an outdoor specialists delight. With cycling, walking or horse riding able to take you through many acres of nature reserves, to places of scientific interest, along spectacular coastlines and amongst an UNESCO heritage area, the only stress you will have is which trial to choose and for how long. For the thrill seekers you can tackle a high ropes course, fly through treetops, abseil or rock climb.
If water is more your idea of fun, you too are looked after with canoeing, scuba diving, surfing, fishing, kite-surfing, water-skiing, white water rafting and sailing.
There are also man-made attractions worth visiting while staying in Devon. Examples include: Pennywell Farm, Paignton Zoo, the National Aquarium, steam train rides, Bicton Park and Rosemoor Gardens, Powderham and Dartmouth Castles, Hartland and Buckland Abbeys, Exeter Cathedral, museums, theme parks and old fashioned quaint villages.
There is so much to see and do in Devon that a caravan makes an ideal base for your daytime excursions. There are two alternatives as to how you can approach your holiday. The first being static vans that you simply rent from a caravan park. It acts like a cost effective hotel room with more features. The other is that you tow a van from site to site, taking in the scenery as you go along. Despite your option, they both have facilities that give you all the comforts of home to a smaller scale: cooking facilities to prepare home-cooked meals, bedrooms, toilets and showers and living areas to relax and spend quality time as a couple or family. You will have to decide on sleeping numbers and while all are comfortable to which degree of luxury you wish to pamper yourself.
They are also a great way to meet like-minded friends who similarly enjoy caravanning in Devon. The parks themselves feel more like little communities nowadays than old-fashioned camping sites, offering kids clubs, water fun and sporting activities, shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and entertainment. You may wish to return to them again and again the only question will be how soon.
