Experience the winter magic of East Devon
While the summer sun brings the crowds, winter in the East Devon National Landscape brings a quiet, tranquil beauty that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Imagine crisp, frosty mornings where the mist clings to the valleys of the Pebblebed Heaths, and dramatic afternoons where the turbulent grey sea crashes against the towering red sandstone cliffs of the Jurassic Coast.
This is the season of “blowing away the cobwebs” on empty coastal paths, spotting rare migratory birds in Seaton Wetlands, and warming your toes by a roaring log fire in a centuries-old thatched pub.
Whether you’re a photographer chasing that perfect low-winter light, a hiker looking for rugged solitude, or a family seeking a festive adventure, East Devon in winter is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

To survive the colder winter months deciduous trees shed their leaves to save energy and water through winter 🌳💧
Those fallen leaves become cosy homes for insects and small animals – and, with the help of worms and fungi, the nutrients the tree collected over the year are recycled back into the soil. An amazing winter habitat! 🐛🍁
