Why the South West is an ideal holiday destination

From the surfers’ paradise of Cornwall and Devon to the historic market towns of Dorset, this corner of the UK boasts a huge range of scenery and attractions. Whether you want to visit picturesque gardens, enjoy scenic cliff walks, set sail on boat trips or learn new skills at surf and sailing schools, you’ll find an idyllic place to do it in the South West.

Further inland sits Berry Pomeroy Castle, a dramatic ruin dating from the 1600s that’s rumoured to be one of the most haunted locations in Devon. There’s also Okehampton Castle, where a series of walls is all that’s left of a castle that was once the largest in the county.

And, of course, don’t forget the magnificent Tintagel Castle, steeped in legend and commanding stunning views across the North Cornish coast. The recent addition of the land bridge makes it even easier to access the site, while still retaining its aura of myth and magic.
