Devon Experience Days

For food fanatics, Devon has a plethora of quaint cafés that are just waiting to be discovered. The Devonshire Cream Tea is renowned nationwide, famous for its clotted cream and locally made jam. Visitors can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea in a hotel in Umberleigh, or even take a cake making masterclass in Exeter. It’s also an ideal picnic destination; the National Parks make the perfect setting for a family outing and the various castles and forts are great fun for kids (and adults!), meaning there’s something for everyone. History fans may wish to visit Dartmoor where Michael Morpurgo's War Horse is set, exploring the various scenes that Steven Spielberg chose to shoot the film in. Or don your Deerstalker and channel Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles, set in the mysterious Devonshire countryside! 

One of the most popular ways to explore Devon is on an exciting helicopter sightseeing tour, soaring over the Jurassic Coast or above Exeter City. Or you could experience the most romantic flight possible, a Champagne hot air balloon ride! For adventurous types there’s skydiving, supercar driving and scuba diving, or you can learn to fly a plane in a simulator. The experiences in Devon range from the relaxing to the heart-pounding, so whether you’re treating the family to an exciting holiday or are searching for the ultimate gift, Devon won’t disappoint.
