South-West Regional Information

The West Country changes from the Rugged and exhilarating coastlines of Cornwall, through challenging and wild peaks, down to hidden and tranquil valleys of Devon. On through gentle rolling farmland down to the hidden bays and clean safe beaches where children can play safely and all the family can enjoy the clean sea. You can draw inspiration from picturesque fishing villages, magnificent sunsets, clean air and a peaceful and slower way of life to relax and take time to enjoy life as it should be. Artists have always flocked to this part of Britain to enjoy the wonderful light quality. Historians have found much to study, from the earliest history of man, through the times of the Roman conquest to stirring stories and legends of one of England's heroes, Arthur, King of the Britons.
