South Devon truly stands out for its natural beauty and wealth of wildlife. To preserve its original appearance and ensure the opportunity to admire natural resources for a long time, almost the entire area of this land is under protection. To avoid disturbing Devon's wildlife and polluting the environment, it is recommended that you explore the natural gallery on foot or by bike.

Dartmoor National Park

Dartmoor National Park covers 650 square kilometres of rolling moorland that is rich in cliffs, valleys, open spaces, and a variety of plants and animals. When travelling to parks and recreation areas, it is important to have an eSIM card so that you can change your route on the spot and stay connected if necessary.

Dartmoor is also an archaeological site where traces of human activity from 2000 to 500 BC have been found. These include various stone circles, burial mounds, and druid stones.

About a third of the park's territory is occupied by swamps covered with a layer of peat. It was this area that became the setting for the Sherlock Holmes novel “The Hound of the Baskervilles”. Dartmoor is rich in plant diversity, for example, various mosses, marsh grasses, reeds, and heather. There are also animals such as sheep, cows, and wild ponies.

Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary

Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary is a zoo located in Devon, UK. It consists of two parts: a butterfly garden and an otter shelter.

In the butterfly garden, you can see more than 40 species of butterflies from all over the world. Here you can observe the life cycle of butterflies, from egg to pupa and adult insect. The garden also has a tropical house where you can see exotic butterflies as well as other insects and plants.

A virtual SIM card is the best way to stay connected while travelling.
