Welcome to Devon — England’s rolling county, where Dartmoor ponies meet seaside resorts and the A38 keeps Plymouth and Exeter firmly on the map. With around 800,000 residents who know the back roads to Torquay better than any sat‑nav, Devon blends countryside calm with coastal buzz.

Schools That Actually Impress

Exeter School (the independent heavyweight), Torquay Boys’ Grammar, and South Dartmoor Community College all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Devon’s economy mixes agriculture, tourism, and maritime industries with growing tech and education hubs in Exeter. Add in commuters heading to Plymouth, Exeter, and beyond, and you’ve got a county that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the A38 Traffic)

• Dartmoor National Park – wild landscapes, tors, and ponies.

• Exeter Cathedral – gothic splendour in the heart of the city.

• Local favourites – Cream teas (jam first, of course), surfing at Croyde, and coastal walks for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than a cream tea queue)
