Welcome to Cross

Cross Devon is a beautiful region located in the southwest of England. It is known for its stunning coastline, rolling hills, and picturesque villages. The region is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the natural beauty and explore the rich history and culture of the area.

One of the most popular attractions in Cross Devon is the Dartmoor National Park. This vast wilderness area covers over 368 square miles and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including wild ponies, deer, and birds of prey. Visitors can explore the park on foot, by bike, or on horseback, and there are plenty of trails and paths to suit all levels of fitness and experience.

Another highlight of Cross Devon is the stunning coastline. The region boasts over 100 miles of coastline, with rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and hidden coves to discover. Visitors can take a boat trip along the coast, go surfing or kayaking, or simply relax on the beach and soak up the sun. There are also plenty of charming seaside towns and villages to explore, each with their own unique character and attractions.
