Family travel tips for Devon
- A car is highly recommended for exploring Devon's diverse attractions, especially if staying in more rural areas. Public transport can be limited.
- Be prepared for all weathers! Pack layers, waterproofs, sturdy shoes for exploring, and beach gear. Sun cream is essential even on cloudy days.
- For classic seaside fun, look at the English Riviera (Torquay, Paignton, Brixham). North Devon offers wilder beaches and surf, while Dartmoor is perfect for nature lovers.
- Many larger attractions and coastal towns offer good accessibility, but rural paths and some older buildings may be less so. Always check specific venue details.
