Exploring the Beautiful English Countryside

If you're into beautiful countrysides with splendid views of the coast and the hilly areas, pay a visit to the county of Devon, west of England. Home to two of England's well-known national parks, Dartmoor and Exmoor, Devon is possibly one of the country's favourite holiday destination in the summer.

The county town of Devon is Exeter, located on the east side of the county. Exeter provides sufficient facility for tourists and has its own attraction as a city of cathedrals and known for its universities. For those of you who are more keen on warmer weather and plenty of sun, then it would be best for you to head for South Devon, where you can get private holiday cottages in Devon for a reasonable price. Apart from making your way to the coastal areas to sample breathtaking views of the sea, you can also hike up the rolling hills of its countryside in towns such as Plymouth.

If you're an outdoor person, look no further than the villages in Dartmoor National Park for an interesting first-hand experience of English forest and moorland, with rocky hills and bogs to explore. Or you can also consider visiting Exmoor National Park, with a choice of either camping in the outback or rent a holiday cottage with the comfort of an English home.

To the east of Devon county is Cornwall, another amazing place for countryside lovers. Cornwall is noted for its moorland landscapes and its long coastline. Cornwall is also famous for its remnants of the stone age era, with historical and world heritage places such as Stonehenge. If you plan to visit this historic country, search for a suitable cottage rental in Cornwall that fits your budget.

The English countryside will be one of those places that you'll always return to visit in time to come.
