Great Holiday Activities in Devon - By: Ana Ofalla

When you go on vacation with your family in Devon, this is the perfect time to build up some good memories. Make your holidays even better by booking at the Devon holiday cottages. Devon is also called as the English Riviera because it has a long and scenic coastline where you can find hundreds of picturesque beaches. Staying at the Devon holiday cottages will give you access to the many attractions that Devon has to offer including to the best beaches and interesting historic sites. You can choose from Devon holiday cottages that are near the beach or those that are near the countryside, whatever you may wish to. Here are some activities that you may be interested in trying out while you are in Devon.

Beach Volleyball

The Ilfracombe Tunnels Beach is a popular place where families spend some time out. Beach volleyball is highly popular at this beach. It is enjoyed by all members of the family. Tunnels Beach can be found at Ilfracombe which is very accessible from your Devon holiday cottages. It will only take a few minutes to reach this beach from your Devon cottages and then you can spend the whole day just enjoying beach volleyball with your family. The beach brings in a lot of tourists and locals who go to the beach to enjoy the many activities that you can do there. It was a popular destination that families went to since way back in the 1920’s and still remains the same until today. There are tunnels at the Tunnels Beach which were made by the miners long ago as a way of quickly reaching the North Coast of Devon. Carving these tunnels was the quickest way to create this access. When you are playing beach volleyball, those who do not want to participate can always play in the tidal pools that can be found when the tide is low. When you want to be constantly here at the beach, you can find some Devon holiday cottages that are just close by so travelling will not be a problem.

Cockington Estate County Walk

One interesting activity for the whole family is walking. You can try the Cockington Estate Country Walk in Torquay if you are staying at the holiday cottages. This is a total of 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) which originates from the Cockington Village parking area. This walk will attract a lot of nature lovers as you get the chance to see the many beautiful green fields, wooded coombes and the stunning Cockington village. This village goes all the way back 1000 years ago and was originally built by the Saxons. If you feel hungry during your walk, you will pass by the Drum Inn where you can enjoy some snacks or have a drink or two to relax. While you are taking this walk, you will get the chance to see many places that are more than a century old. So if you are staying at the Devon holiday cottages, this is one great activity that you must do.
