There’s a reason this region is so popular – a milder climate, expansive coastlines, World Heritage Sites and a multitude of attractions to keep you busy for a week or two. Cornwall is all about the coast, from quaint fishing villages to busy surf resorts.
Neighbouring Devon, with two national parks, is the perfect countryside retreat. Historic Bath and Glastonbury, along with dramatic Cheddar Gorge, are just some of Somerset’s delights, while Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is a haven for walkers and geologists.

There’s also the grand city of Cambridge with its magnificent architecture, the wide open skies of the Lincolnshire fenland landscape, and the beautiful scenery of Mersea Island.
