Dropping another half marathon, Chris has now entered the second county on the route. Covering 49 miles of the journey, Devon (or Devonshire) marks the first time we leave the beautiful A30, for more rural roads, like the B3215.

So, what else does Devon have to offer? Here’s what Chat GPT says are the highlights of Devon summarized in one paragraph:

“Devon is a county in southwestern England, known for its picturesque landscapes, rugged coastline, and charming villages. With a rich history dating back to prehistoric times, Devon boasts historic sites such as Dartmoor National Park, famous for its granite tors and wild ponies. The stunning Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcases dramatic cliffs and fossil-rich beaches. Visitors can explore the historic city of Exeter, with its medieval cathedral and Roman city walls, or relax in the quaint seaside towns like Torquay and Salcombe. Devon offers a mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and outdoor activities, making it a popular destination for those seeking a diverse and captivating experience in the heart of the English countryside.”

None of these sights feature on our route.
