Devon Life and Waves

Straddling a peninsula which gives it the bragging rights to two stretches of coastline, the siren call of the sea in Devon is plaintive.

Step back into Victorian life and times at Morwelham Quay and learn of the importance and impact of the mines that lie beneath the soil, giving some of the beaches their distinctive russet hue.

Experience a slice of history from the Mayflower steps as you set sail on a harbour cruise taking in Drake’s Island before returning to dry land to follow the journey of the iconic ship and its legacy at the Mayflower Museum.

Rest your sea legs and enjoy the scenic coastal views form Buckfastleigh to Totnes on the heritage railway and follow the footsteps of famous seafarers at Buckland Abbey – an ancient gem that is part house and part museum set in the beautiful Tavy Valley.
