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.

Apply for up to £500 for your community to spend on improving biodiversity, engaging with nature friendly farming and supporting people to connect to their local landscapes.
The grant is part of the Connecting People and Landscapes in a Changing Climate project, which brings together farmers, landowners and communities across the South-West and beyond to create a more resilient landscape in the face of a changing climate.

We’re upgrading signage along parts of the East Devon Way.
If you’re walking between Exmouth and Woodbury Castle, or around Musbury, please follow the GPX route or written directions rather than the pink waymarkers. You can find the routes on our website, link in bio.
Thanks for bearing with us while improvements are underway 🌱
