Devon, archaically known as Devonshire, is a picturesque county in England, spanning all the way from Bristol Channel in the north to the English Channel in the south. Devon gets its name from Dumnonia, which was the homeland of the Celtic Britons. Nowadays, Devon is a popular destination for recreation and leisure, although you may still find some remote fishing villages and ports almost untouched. Devon is the home county of the great mariners — Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh. The ‘queen of crime fiction’ Agatha Christie was also born in Devon. By the way,just so you know, all the events described by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in his ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ also took place in Devon as well. You will see the other side of the coin — see England in its ’natural habitat’ with its harsh winds, picturesque landscapes, old-bordering-on-mystical houses and alleyways
