The West Country is a region of contrasts, with windswept moorlands and dramatic cliffs towering above beautiful sandy beaches. Its bustling cities are a fascinating mix of history and contemporary culture.

With its dramatic cliffs, pounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and beautiful coastline boasting warm waters, soft sandy beaches and small seaside towns, Cornwall is one of England's most popular holiday destinations. The coast is also a surfers’ paradise, while inland, the wild and rugged Bodmin Moor dominates the landscape.
