If you’re looking for a destination for a spring holiday in the UK, Devon should be at the top of your bucket list. With coastal charm, blooming landscapes, and a calmer atmosphere before the summer rush, spring is a magical time to discover everything Devon has to offer.
Enjoy Dog-Friendly Beaches Before Summer Restrictions Kick In
One of the top reasons to visit Devon in spring is that many beaches still welcome dogs before the peak season restrictions come into force. If you’re staying with us, beaches like Hele Bay, Lee Bay, and Combe Martin are perfect for letting your four-legged friend roam freely. With fewer visitors around, there’s more space to explore, play, and even enjoy a splash in the sea.
Beat the Crowds and Soak Up the Peace
Spring is one of the quietest times to enjoy Devon’s beauty. Before the summer holidays begin and the crowds descend, you’ll find a more peaceful version of the county, perfect for those seeking a relaxing break. Whether you’re exploring local villages, dining on fresh seafood, or strolling the coastline, there’s more room (and time) to truly unwind.
See Devon in Bloom
Devon comes to life in spring. The rolling hills, meadows, and woodland trails are blanketed with colourful wildflowers. Expect to see daffodils in early spring, primroses and violets in mid-season, and carpets of bluebells in April and May. It’s a wonderful time for walking and photography. Around Ilfracombe, scenic routes like the Ilfracombe Torrs Loop or the Woolacombe Loop via Bull Point Lighthouse offer panoramic views and bursts of seasonal colour.
Make the Most of Milder Weather
Spring in Devon brings longer days, lighter evenings, and some of the UK’s mildest weather. With average daytime temperatures between 10–16°C and June offering up to 200 hours of sunshine, you’ll have ideal conditions for outdoor adventures—whether that’s rock pooling, hiking, or enjoying a Devonshire cream tea al fresco.
Towns Begin to Wake Up for the Season
Spring is when Devon’s coastal towns begin to open up for the new season. Ilfracombe, for example, starts to come alive with small local festivals, art galleries re-opening, and local eateries showcasing seasonal produce. It’s a lovely time to wander the high streets without the pressure of summer crowds, discovering artisan goods, heritage sites, and hidden gems.
