All Saints, South Milton

All Saints sits quietly in South Milton, a few miles outside Kingsbridge, and it's the sort of church that rewards a gentle detour if you're camping locally. The building itself is 15th century, with that satisfying Devon stone look - solid rather than showy - and the interior has proper character without feeling museum-like. You'll find decent medieval features if you know what to look for, and the churchyard is genuinely peaceful, the kind of spot where you can actually hear yourself think.

It's not a destination in itself - don't expect queues or a visitor centre - but it's worth a 20-minute wander if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like South Devon Camping or Karrageen. The walk through the village to get there is pleasant enough, and locals seem unbothered by visitors turning up to have a look around. Free entry, naturally.

Best suited to architecture enthusiasts and anyone with a proper interest in country churches rather than casual day-trippers. Families with young kids might find 15 minutes more than enough unless they're genuinely into spotting gargoyles and brass rubbings. It fits well with a broader south Devon coastal holiday - it's inland but close enough to combine with beach time near Kingsbridge. The surrounding countryside is proper walking country if you want to make an afternoon of it. Worth the stop, but only if you're already in the area.
