My hometown is in the southeast of England. Since I was a child, my family has taken a summer holiday each year in Devon, which is in the southwest of England. It  takes a three - hour drive from my home to Devon. Devon is a really great place to  a holiday in England, and today I will tell you why.

    First of all, it's on the coast. This means you can spend plenty of time on the beach, which is fantastic  it is sunny. Of course, you should take an umbrella to the beach because it might rain. But even if it's raining, there's  a lot to do in Devon. There are lots of very pretty . You can easily spend a day looking at the shops, finding a place to eat some local fish and chips and  an ice cream at the end of your day.

    If you're  in history, you will find plenty of castles (城堡) and old houses to visit. Ancient kings and queens once  there. If geology(地质学) is your thing, you will love Devon because it's famous for  "Jurassic Coast". This is an area by the sea where the cliffs(峭壁) have a special naturally red colour. Many people come to spend a day studying the rocks. If you are , you can find fossils (化石) of animals in the rocks. Isn't that amazing?

    All in all, I think Devon is a great place for a holiday. There is always plenty to do, no matter what age you are.
