There are visitors who come to Devon just to visit Dartmoor itself and if they take up the challenge to walk to any or even all of the the tors of Dartmoor, that will probably be all that you will manage to see of Devon in one visit. If Dartmoor is the main spot in Devon that you target, then you will probably be thinking of camping.

There is another moor, that qualifies as being partly in Devon, and that is Exmoor. If you do find yourself on Exmoor from the Devon side, you will inevitably venture across the border from Devon, into Somerset. Perhaps Cornwall is better than Devon. If you put aside, for a moment, the rugged cliffs around the coastline of Cornwall and the tucked away sandy beaches there, Cornwall has plenty more to offer.

Some say that a visit to Cornwall is worthwhile just to get a genuine Cornish pasty. Then there are the cream teas which, to be fair, you can also get in Devon. Food plays a big part when comparing Devon and Cornwall.

Cornwall has a thing about locally produced food. Apart from the seafood you will find that the meat and vegetables that turn up on your plate in Cornwall, will have been reared or grown locally.

There has been, and still is, a serious level of mining. Some of these locations were used for filming the world famous Poldark series. Cornwall has been a favourite location for other famous TV series. Then there is Bodmin moor where Neolithic and Bronze age remains can be found and examples of medieval clapper bridges which are made from local slabs of Stone. There is also a selection of stone circles.

These are a typical site throughout Devon and Cornwall but more likely to be found near or on moorland. Unlike Dartmoor, in Devon, wild camping is, technically, not allowed.
