Enjoy Devon responsibly With its dual coastlines, two National Parks, and abundant Areas of Natural Beauty, Devon is a cherished haven for those seeking adventure, relaxation, and a connection with nature. Preserving this natural beauty for future generations requires responsible enjoyment of the region. Respect the Environment: Devon’s landscapes are teeming with wildlife, from wild ponies on Exmoor and Dartmoor to herds of wild goats and diverse marine life. While these creatures may seem accustomed to human presence, remember they are still wild animals. Resist the urge to interact with them, and if you encounter an animal in distress, contact local authorities rather than attempting to intervene. Dispose of Litter Properly: Proper disposal of litter is crucial to protect the local fauna, prevent pollution, and ensure the safety of fellow explorers. Whether enjoying a picnic or BBQ, collect all your rubbish, including recyclables, and dispose of them appropriately. If you come across litter, lend a hand by picking it up and placing it in the nearest bin, ensuring it’s safe to do so. Respect Private Land and Public Right of Way: While much of Devon is open for public enjoyment, some areas are privately owned. Adhere to marked paths and signage to avoid trespassing and unintentional harm to plant life, some of which is rare and indigenous to Devon. Use Designated Areas for Picnics, BBQs, and Camping: Check for restrictions on picnics, BBQs, and camping to ensure your safety, protect wildlife, and preserve Devon’s natural beauty. Some areas prohibit wild camping, and inappropriate BBQ usage has led to wildfires in the past. Know Your Limits: Devon is a haven for adventure, offering activities like surfing, horse riding, rock climbing, and hiking. While having fun is encouraged, know your limits and prepare accordingly. Being prepared reduces the strain on lifeguards and search and rescue teams, ensuring a safer experience. Have Fun Responsibly: Whatever your reason for visiting Devon—be it surfing, relaxation, or shopping—enjoy your time responsibly. Adhering to these guidelines ensures the preservation of Devon’s beauty, allowing both current and future generations to revel in its wonders.
