If you're looking for a pretty place to visit this autumn, look no further.

Located in the south west of England, you won't be able to say no to a weekend away in this picturesque village.

Cockington is just a short drive away from Torquay with the journey taking around seven minutes by car.

The "chocolate-box" village of Cockington sits beside popular Torquay on the so-called English Riviera, reports The Independent.

Home to thatched cottages, rural countryside and an impressive manor house, you'll be able to soak up the English charm on offer.

While you're there, you should try a Devon cream tea and take a walk around the water mill, churches and beautiful surrounding scenery.

Another must-visit spot is Cockington Country Park which is the perfect place for a relaxing stroll.

One person who visited the park said: "This was a delightful park to spend an afternoon.

"Gardens are beautiful, nice walking trails through the woods and alongside a stream, or just around the property lawns.

"The shops and church are quaint and interesting, and there are a couple of nice inside cafes.

"Lovely walk to it from our guesthouse, and then back down through the woods to the seafront. And FREE admission. We really enjoyed it, highly recommend visiting."

Another penned: "We were recommended a visit to Cockington by our hotel hosts, it was beautiful, we walked along the country walk and enjoyed all the sights,

"Lovely pub and beautiful setting, we will definitely return when we are next back in Torquay."

While you're there you can take the short trip to Torquary which is a coastal town known for its stunning seaside views.

Even in colder weather, you can't miss out on a trip to the beach.

Cockington could be the perfect place for an autumn staycation or day trip.
