Situated on the south west of England is Devon, the countries third largest county.  Devon, also known as Devonshire, is where the famous Devonshire Tea originated from, consisting of scones, jam and clotted cream. The coastline is met by the English Channel on the south and the Bristol Channel on the north and is filled with many popular seaside resorts. To the west of Devon lies Cornwall, which is at the very tip of the south western peninsula of Great Britain. The county is well known for its beaches and jagged coastlines and warmer climate. Along the coastlines, large rocks were positioned to protect the land from the strong waves of the Atlantic Ocean which have now created picturesque cliffs.
