Top Ten Most Beautiful Villages In Devon

A run down of the top ten most beautiful villages in Devon.

Devon is a county in southwest England. It encompasses sandy beaches, fossil cliffs, medieval towns and moorland national parks

The English Riviera is a series of picturesque, south-coast harbour towns and villages including Woolacombe, Mortehoe and Clovelly.

The South West Coast Path follows the coastline, taking in the towering cliffs of the northern Exmoor Coast and rock formations on the fossil-rich southern Jurassic Coast.

With so many beautiful villages and seaside resorts, this list was definitely not an easy one to put together!

I am from bridgwater Somerset, a tough place. My get away and my final destination is devon. So close but like my county one of the most beautiful parts of my world. I find nice vids like this just before I take time out there. Thanks. And i really mean it. In 5 weeks I will spend one week walking the coast of devon and its the most freedom I will experience in close to a year. THANKS.

Appledore to me is the most pleasing historical to look at and of course clovelly

[gabrielletanner]

Lovely, my granny lived in a few parts of devon, she is buried in the church overlooking the mewstone at Wembury bay, at the foot of which was or could still be a cafe that was once a bread mill and my father when he was a little boy the tables where the milling tools.

I think the Uploader must live near Barnstaple, as 7 of the top 10 are all within a 20-25min drive from there....😅

2 amazing places I've been are village of Belstone (dartnoor national park) and Appledore in North Devon. If you want to see a really beautiful untouched fishing village Google Bucks Mills, Devon. It's a smaller version of Clovelly that isn't as commercial

Lived in Beer for 14 yrs a good place for my son to grow up in .

[robrhodes]

A bit coast-centric! Try Dartmoor and Exmoor villages!

[fificrossnails]

Obviously never been to Devon, and definitely never visited Dartmoor…and yes I live in Devon!

Combe Martin has a lovely beach with lots of rock pools.

[gabrielletanner]

Bigbury bay i went to with my father and when i visited about 25years ago there was a games hall which inwas devastated about. Beautiful beach..

[isaachunt]

Aveton Gifford, Newton Ferrers & Noss Mayo spring to mind

[lynniejenkins]

What about Lustleigh on Dartmoor??? Prettier than Croyde I think.

[RS-sjxr]

I can think of a dozen or so more beautiful villages in Devon..

[willonthehoof]

It should be titles ten most beautiful COASTAL villages in Devon. There are so many beautiful inland villages in Devon. You could do a top 25 of them.

Going to Croyde bay parkdean in July, can't wait!! 👍

Combe Martin wonderful had a Fantastic Sunday lunch at the 'Pack of Cards" wonderful atmosphere and went to the secret beach called Wild Pear Beach, mum & dad went to retire there now i understand why, so much to do within the area, also visited Bigbury on sea, & "Burge Island " where Agatha Christie based one of her stories. Just wondered where's "Lynmouth" ?

[dereksmith]

Bigbury-on-sea. You are joking!! Sure nice coast but it's mainly a collection of 1960s bungalows which I wouldn't even describe as a village. I live in South Devon and there are loads of real villages that are much more picturesque.

[williamparker]

You missed out Sidmouth, a Regency town on the South Coast of Devon, nice beach but pebbly, and a town with lots of small shops to blouse through

[originalforgery]

Not everywhere in Devon is on the coast.
There are some lovely places
