If you’re an avid adventurer, Cornwall is the place to go for surfing and a range of other watersports. Try coasteering along the North Cornwall coast or stand-up paddle boarding in West Cornwall.

Devon is a walkers paradise. Venture across Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Devon’s five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the choice is endless. Not to mention the South West Coast Path! Perfect for a dog-friendly holiday in Devon!

Somerset has its fair share of beautiful beaches too, with the seaside resort of Weston-Super-Mare being the classic British seaside town to enjoy on a short break or week-long holiday.
