Devon Highlights
Clovelly
A village like no other, Clovelly is taken straight out of a picture book and is a must-see on any Devon holiday. This ancient fishing village sits on a 400-foot cliffside and has no vehicles; locals and visitors alike must use the iconic cobbled streets to get around. At the foot of the village is the harbour and pebble beach, as well as the local pub serving up fresh-caught seafood!
RHS Rosemoor
This delightful garden, managed by the Royal Horticultural Society, stretches across the North Devon landscape and is filled with seasonal delights. All year round, guests are able to enjoy a selection of carefully curated gardens and areas, including The Rose Gardens, The Potager & Cottage Garden, The Fruit & Vegetable Garden, The South West & Devon Orchards and many more.
Torquay
A highlight on any South Devon tour, Torquay is a jewel on the English Riviera and has long been a popular holiday destination for those in the UK. Many of our coach trips to Devon stop at Torquay, and from the stunning Torre Abbey Sands to the popular Harbour and marina, those on board will find plenty to enjoy.
