Devon is a stunning part of Great Britain, bordering the southwest coast and Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks. The county is blessed with extraordinary landscapes,  part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, and the national parks characterised by moorland and striking granite-topped hills. The coast and the national parks are popular with hikers year-round, and in the summer, Devon is a popular location for holiday makers who come to take advantage of its beautiful beaches, sunny weather, and outstanding local produce. The region has rich Roman and Anglo-Saxon histories, meaning it is a popular location for those interested in early British history, having been the site of a great number of battles and conflicts, including battles fought as part of the War of the Roses and those fought during the Norman Conquest.
