Modbury, a small town in Devon, is steeped in history and offers an idyllic escape for tourists looking to experience traditional English charm. It was once a thriving market town and traces of its rich past can still be seen in the architecture of its buildings. Visitors can explore the narrow streets lined with quaint shops and cafes.
The town hosts several events throughout the year including the Modbury Fair which dates back to medieval times. The fair features local produce, crafts, and entertainment for all ages. Modbury also boasts beautiful countryside views with scenic walks that take in rolling hills and lush green fields. A must-visit is the nearby Burgh Island, accessible only by foot at low tide or via a sea tractor when it's high tide. Its Art Deco hotel was once frequented by Agatha Christie who set two of her novels there.
