A Relaxing Devonshire Holiday in the Autumn
As we head into autumn, there are many of us who like to head off around the UK on holiday now that the main rush of tourists has gone home. Visiting Devon in the autumn months is a great experience and there are plenty of things to enjoy in the area if you are after a peaceful autumn retreat.
There are many beautiful woodland walks to enjoy in Devon. Fingle woods on the banks of the River Teign as well as the magical Wistmans wood to the south of Dartmoor are just two of the many woodlands to explore, and in the autumn, you are in for a treat as the woodlands put on a spectacular display of colour changing leaves, as well as the many mushrooms like the fly agaric that can be seen in the woods.
Food and drink are always a pleasure in Devon – from country pubs with roaring fires, to seaside fish restaurants to the Devonshire cream teas that are served up in the quaint cafes and tearooms in the area. If you are missing the food when you get home, you can always order afternoon tea boxes like this https://www.afternoonteabox.com/ in the post!
Another treat at this time of the year is a natural spectacle that takes place in many of the Devonshire rivers – the salmon run. In the autumn the salmon head upstream to their breeding grounds, and you can see them if you are lucky jumping out over the weirs.
