South West of England

If you’re looking to escape to a remote and tranquil land, where motorways are replaced with winding country roads that lead to surf-ready waves, secret coves, and breathtaking beaches, you’re in the right region. The counties of Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall boast the most spectacular coastlines, sophisticated coastal towns, and vibrant cities - we love St. Ives, Salcombe, Christchurch, Bournemouth, and Poole to name a few.

Beyond the beaches, you’ll find world-class galleries and loads of unique attractions. The foodie scene is pretty epic too - beyond the obligatory fish and chips, cream teas, and Cornish pasties there are plenty of fine-dining restaurants and gorgeous gastro pubs serving fresh catch of the day.

You absolutely must head to the city of Bristol and the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath - follow in the footsteps of the Romans and go for a dip in the Roman baths. Walk in the shadows of your Neolithic ancestors at Stonehenge, explore the geological features of the Jurassic coast, and explore Britain's biggest gorge - Cheddar Gorge - from the dramatic cliffs that rise 450ft to the stunning stalactite caverns - no, it’s not made of cheese.
