Fabulous County of Devon in England.

Good day, dear subscribers and visitors of my channel!

Let's talk today about the fabulous corner of England and the whole world, the fabulous County of Devonshire. The County of Devon can rightly be called a fairy tale. Rare beauty houses, lovingly decorated with flowers and climbing plants, create the illusion of a fairy tale. In the County all concerned about the environment, and therefore very developed landscaping and construction of environmental materials. The roofs are covered with reeds. Local home a bit reminiscent of the classic southern Russian hut with a garden in front of the house.



Through the territory of the County flows a lot of rivers. However, most of Devonshire is occupied by the Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks, or is a rural area with a low population density for England. The County has a UNESCO world heritage site — part of the Jurassic coast of Dorset and East Devon.

Devonshire (or Devon), located in the South-West of England, is considered the third largest County in the country. In England, very common Hiking. The road network is well developed, there are enough village hotels, so you can get to any railway station in Devonshire and slowly walk a few days, walking a couple of tens of kilometers.

After the railroad was built through Devon in the 19th century, seaside resorts began to flourish in the County, aided by the mild climate and historical heritage together with the marvelous nature. At this time, tourism is becoming a good support for the Devonian economy.

A large area of Devonshire is occupied by national parks. And the main source of income of the County is tourism. In the XIX century, after the construction of the railway, which, by the way, came the heroes of Conan Doyle, sir Henry and Dr. Watson, was developed coastal tourism.

You could hear the name Devon in Geology — scientist Adam Sedgwick named one of the geological epochs in honor of Devonshire. And the coast of East Devon is the only place in the whole of England, which is under the protection of UNESCO as the Jurassic coast. Have you seen Jurassic Park? Dinosaur bones were among the first to be found here.

The capital of Devon is Exeter, and the largest city in the County is Plymouth, which is called "the most desirable city in Britain." It was from Plymouth that the famous pilgrim fathers ' voyage to North America on the Mayflower began in 1620. Today Plymouth is a city of dreams for beach lovers and water sports.

But in Devonshire interest is not only large cities. Expanses of countryside here is rightfully called a fairytale. Look closely at these photos, personally to me they remind Native places of hobbits from works of John Ronald Ruel Tolkien, the author of classical works of "the high fantasy": "the Hobbit, or There and back" and "the Lord of the rings". When you look at these houses really there is a feeling that you are in a fairy tale.  In this County once was born known writer Agatha Christie. The buildings here are all of rare beauty, lovingly decorated with climbing plants and flowers.
