Welcome to Devon

Devon is a county located in the southwest of England. It is known for its stunning coastline, rolling hills, and picturesque villages. The county is home to two national parks, Dartmoor and Exmoor, which offer visitors the chance to explore some of the UK's most beautiful landscapes. Devon is also famous for its cream teas, which consist of scones, clotted cream, and jam, and are a must-try for anyone visiting the area.

Nottinghamshire is a county located in the East Midlands of England. It is known for its rich history, which includes the legend of Robin Hood, who is said to have lived in the county's Sherwood Forest. Nottinghamshire is also home to the city of Nottingham, which is famous for its lace-making industry and its association with the legend of Robin Hood. The city is home to a number of historic buildings, including Nottingham Castle and St Mary's Church.

Despite their differences, both Devon and Nottinghamshire are popular tourist destinations in the UK. Devon's stunning coastline and countryside make it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, while Nottinghamshire's rich history and association with Robin Hood make it a must-visit for anyone interested in English folklore. Whether you're looking for a relaxing break or an action-packed adventure, both counties have something to offer visitors of all ages and interests.
