Notes:
Devon is a large county in the south-west of England. Alternatively people refer to the county as Devonshire, but it's an entirely unofficial name, often indicating a traditional or historical context. The county shares borders with Cornwall to the west, and Dorset and Somerset to the east. Its coastline follows the English Channel to the south, and the Bristol Channel to the north. It's the third largest of the English counties, and the only one in England to have two separated coastlines.
There's some dispute over the use of 'Devonshire' instead of Devon, and there is no official recognition of the term 'Devonshire' in modern times. One theory is that the 'shire' suffix is due to a mistake in the making of the original letters patent for the Duke of Devonshire, resident in Derbyshire. However, there are references to 'Defenascire' in old English texts from before 1000AD, which translates to modern English as 'Devonshire'. The term Devonshire may have originated around the 8th century, when it changed from Dumnonia to Defensascir.  Latitude: 50.377, Longitude: -4.176
