Cornwall and Devon are the furthest part of the southwest. Unrivalled rugged coastlines, spectacular coastal footpath walks, first rate beaches and an endless number and variety of tourist attractions and amenities for all tastes and age groups .

Cornwall is a place of legend and fantasy. It's history is for all to see in the rocky coastline with sheltered fishing villages, prehistoric stone circles and clifftop castles which punctuate the landscape. Devon reveals an equally interesting past; prehistoric Dartmoor settlements, historic cities and towns such as Plymouth and Exeter. Both counties have a wealth of National Trust and other Country Homes and Gardens open to the public.

A thorough research of the area before starting on your holiday will reap you rich rewards. You will discover an endless array of possibilities that you may not have previously thought of from cycle paths with bike hire to boat fishing trips and much more.
