Welcome to Devon, A Picturesque Tour around an Idyllic Paradise!

''In 2015, Country Life magazine named Devon as the best place to live in England, having assessed each county on 19 separate criteria including health, schools and amenities. It won’t come as a surprise that Devon fared well on landscape but it also ranked highly for green credentials, heritage and local food and pubs. A relaxed pace of life is a key motivator for people to move to Devon. But it’s important to remember that it’s also home to vibrant urban centres such as Plymouth and Exeter.''++ Enjoy this relaxing compilation as we fly around Devon via drone.
