This cosy parish has been named one of the prettiest villages in the UK despite not being well-known, making it the perfect place to visit for anyone looking for a quiet getaway.<\/p>\n
South Pool is a picture-postcard village located in Devon, England in the heart of the countryside known for its storybook cottages, enchanting scenery and sparkling lakeside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It has been named the \u201cmost beautiful village\u201d in the UK by CN Traveller who described this charming location as being known for its \u201csailing brigade, smart shops and ice-cream parlous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The area has also exploded in popularity on social media due to its surrounding beaches. One traveller described the nearby Banthan Beach as being the \u201cmost beautiful beach without leaving the UK.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, some locals are trying to keep South Pool hidden, as one commentator said: \u201cShhh, don\u2019t tell anyone! We locals want to keep it a secret!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
