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 including Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. 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.
Devon's biggest city, Plymouth, hosts a variety of theatres, galleries, and cultural events. The Theatre Royal hosts a diverse range of performances, from drama and dance to comedy and music, while the Plymouth Arts Centre showcases contemporary art exhibitions and independent films. The Royal William Yard, a former naval victualling yard, has been transformed into a vibrant cultural quarter with shops, restaurants, and galleries.
