Big bays, sheltered coombes, endless adventure
Big bays, rugged cliffs and Atlantic rollers along the northern coastline, stylish resorts and painted fishing ports of the Cornish Riviera, and the easier pace of South Devon’s harbours and inlets – the South West is Britain’s most popular stretch of holiday coastline for many memorable reasons. And not just coastline, but a region that contains a rich and varied landscape of sheltered estuaries, deep wooded valleys, rushing streams and wild moorlands. Here you can discover historic market towns, famous gardens, art galleries, picturesque riverside hamlets, and ancient antiquities such as stone circles and iron age settlements. Good food is a more recent attraction, spawning a new wave of fish restaurants and gastro-pubs, surely the perfect end to a challenging walk, or a good day’s surfing.
