Once you have confirmed your reservation for one of the Torquay holiday cottages or one of the Devon holiday cottages, you can relax and start planning what to do during your holiday. If you are travelling with your family, the best place to stay is at one of the Devon holiday cottages. The Devon holiday cottages are clean, comfortable and include all modern amenities. There are several interesting things to do and see in Devon. Staying at a Torquay holiday cottage will also give you access to many interesting attractions. Here are a few things you can do while enjoying a holiday in Devon.
The Tarka Line
Taking a ride on the Tarka Line is one of the activities that you should do while staying at one of the Devon holiday cottages. The Tarka Line is a beautiful train trip that goes between Barnstaple and Exeter. The journey is over a single-track and passes some beautiful scenery. The Tarka Line will take you past the Exe River, Yeo and Tao and across some hamlets with only a few dwellings. In some places you will come across only a pub. The Cornwall and Devon Rail partnership also promotes a couple of “Rail Ale Trails”. The Tarka Line is one of those and it passes 9 pubs along its route. There are another 9 pubs at Exeter and Barnstable stations and these provide travellers a pint of beer. If you want to try some more beer at any of the pubs, you can collect a stamp on the leaflet from the each of the pubs you visit and exchange it for various souvenirs. The Tarka Line is also accessible if you are staying at one of the Torquay holiday cottages.
Hiking at Dartmoor National Park
Whether you are staying at the Devon holiday cottages or the Torquay holiday cottages, you can enjoy hiking at the Dartmoor National Park. Dartmoor National Park covers around 368 sq miles and mainly consists of granite uplands. Because of its vast moorland the Dartmoor Park is home to a variety of wildlife. If you are up to the challenge, you can hike to the highest point – High Willhays which stands at 621 meters above sea level. Do not be surprised to see many other people at the park, just like you; they have come to hike the trails. Another place that is popular with hikers is the Great Mis Tor that stands at 539 meters above sea level. After a hike at the Dartmoor National Park, you will be ready to head back to the comfort of your luxurious Devon holiday cottage or your Torquay holiday cottage. You might want to take your digital camera along to capture some special moments during your hike.
