Holidays in South Devon, Self-Catering Cottages and Apartments
The south of Devon, also known as The South Hams, is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty located in and around the south-west coast of Devon. It stretches along the coast from Plymouth across to Dartmouth and inland to touch the southern edge of Dartmoor to the North. Its self-proclaimed capital is the historic town of Totnes, which even has its own currency. The coastline around Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and the seaside town of Salcombe all offer some of the most popular holiday destinations in the UK. South Devon is also very popular with the sailing fraternity with spots like the lovely safe, picturesque harbours and tidal inlets of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo (good news for those bringing their yachts on holiday).
