Best Time for Devon: Exeter, Dartmoor, Plymouth & the English Riviera

Last updated: 2026-09-23

Preferred months for this journey: May, June, July, August, September. Check the seasonal notes before choosing your dates.

Dartmoor's tors dry out for walkers, Salcombe's estuary turns Mediterranean-blue, and the crab boats land daily — June before the school holidays is the sweet spot.
The narrow South Hams lanes jam solid in the holidays and Salcombe parking fills by ten — book beds early and do the moor mornings.
