Q: What is the best time of year to visit Devon?
A: The best time of year to visit Devon depends on the kind of holiday you’re looking for, but each season has its own highlights and it's an excellent choice all year round.
Summer is best for beach holidays - warm weather, long days and the liveliest atmosphere (though it’s also the busiest and the most expensive period). Late Spring is something of a sweet spot - attractions are open but the crowds are not at their peak, the weather is often warm and sunny, and the coast paths look their best. Early Autumn is a good choice for peaceful exploring, ideal for walking and dog friendly holidays without the crowds. Although winter is colder, the beaches are quiet, the pubs are serving home cooked food in front of roaring fires, and the moorland scenery is stunning - perfect for a cosy and romantic escape.
