A driving licence opens up the whole country for exploration, and autumn can be a fantastic time to see some of the best of it. If you plan on taking a trip after all the schools have gone back, then Devon offers plenty of sights and attractions. Go before the end of October and all of the attractions will still be in operation, but if these don\u2019t grab you, there is still a lot to see and do.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Farmers\u2019 Markets<\/h2>\n

As more people become interested in the sources and quality of the things they eat, farmers\u2019 markets have become a national trend. When you\u2019re travelling around the many small towns and villages that make up the Devon coast<\/a>, you\u2019ll find a huge variety of farmers\u2019 markets. The area hosts a wealth of artisan food producers, whether you are looking for a variety of cheeses and sea foods, or you\u2019re more interested in the home-produced delicious ciders and wines.<\/p>\n

Travelling Through Devon<\/h2>\n

You need to be a confident driver to handle some of the narrow, craggy roads that you\u2019ll encounter when driving through Devon. You must be prepared for stray sheep and cattle meandering across some of the narrowest country lanes in Britain. If the weather is bad then you really need to take care, as the corkscrew bends you\u2019re likely to encounter can make passing other vehicles a challenge. You will need the skills for moving into tight spaces to let another car go through!<\/p>\n

Scenic Devon<\/h2>\n

No matter what time of the year you visit, Devon offers visitors beautiful views and tiny villages. In autumn the Devon moors are a riot of colour as the leaves turn from green through to gold. If you like the sea, in this area, the water is at its warmest during late September and through October.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re travelling through Devon, you\u2019ll see lots of villages with beautiful thatched cottages, but some of these areas are quite isolated and not easily accessible. You should be aware that in some areas of Devon there is no reception for mobile phones, which means you could be in for a long walk to the nearest farmhouse if you run into trouble.<\/p>\n

Weather<\/h2>\n

Devon is beautiful at any time of the year, but if you\u2019re travelling in the autumn or winter months, make sure that you have plenty of warm and weatherproof clothing \u2013 if you decide to walk across the moors you really will need to take water and windproofs. If you plan on hiking along the moors then make sure you are properly covered and sprayed with insect repellent \u2013 ticks are nasty things and there are lots on the moors.<\/p>\n

Accommodation<\/h2>\n

There are plenty of great hotels, country inns, and farmhouses to stay at in Devon. Even in winter, you can find cosy farmhouses and inns that provide wonderful food. The locals in Devon are noted for their fondness for a good pint or glass of scrumpy, some of which is very strong, so make sure you know your limits. Like anywhere else, Devon has its good and bad places to stay, so do your research, and make bookings before you set off on your journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
