Historic Pubs and Inns

Glorious unspoilt old inns and pubs, full of character and atmosphere, abound in Devon. Real ale enthusiast or just lover of good food and beer - you will find you are exceptionally well-catered for in Devon.

Hidden down deep winding lanes or with fantastic views of the sea or moor, Devon's historic inns set a strong emphasis on providing a warm welcome and first-class service. Many specialise in real ales or cherish their own cellar of carefully selected wines.

With over 150 gastropubs in Devon, focusing on fresh local produce, their home-cooked food is something you'll look forward to with relish. And the cuisine covers everything from bangers and mash to scallops poached with ginger.

Myth and legend surround many a pub, tales of smugglers or visits from the devil on dark nights. Sit in a cosy inglenook, cheered by a roaring log fire, and listen to spooky tales of the inexplicable. Devon's historic pubs will give you memories to cherish.
