With miles of glorious coast line, stunning moors and expansive of beautiful countryside, it’s no wonder that Devon has always been a big draw for people looking for the idyllic costal and countryside lifestyle.
Since the rise of seaside resorts with the arrival of the railways in the 19th century, Devon's economy has been heavily reliant on tourism alongside the wider diversity of other trade, from maritime to farming.
The county's economy has followed the declining trend of British seaside resorts since the mid 20th century, with some recent revival. This revival has been aided by the designation of much of Devon's countryside and coastline, such as the Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks, and the Jurassic Coast and Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Sites.
However recent years have seen a significant rise in the percentage of its inhabitants involved in the financial services sector and in 2003, the Met Office, UK's national and international weather service, relocated to Exeter.
Devon is one of the rural counties, with all the advantages and challenges characteristic of these. Despite this, the county's economy is also heavily influenced by its two main urban centres, Plymouth and Exeter.
