South West England Holidays

There’s a lot to be said for holidays in the South West of England. You’ll get some of the best weather that the UK has to offer, along with what are easily the best coastlines and beaches in the country. The latter is particularly true if you’re taking a Cornwall holiday as the county has more coastline than any other in England and a huge amount of that coastline is taken up by beaches of every size and variety. Sandy beaches, rocky beaches, paddling beaches, surfing beaches, they’re all in Cornwall.

Due to how popular the South West is there’s also plenty for tourists to do. The seaside towns and villages all have plenty of places to eat and everywhere has holiday accommodation of one sort or another. You’ll be able to enjoy some traditional British fish and chips or a tasty Cornish pasty for lunch and then dine in some of the UK’s best restaurants run by top chefs for dinner. You could also sample some delicious Somerset cider or try the real ales available from breweries across the South West, including some of the UK’s favourites in Cornwall.

Whilst you might not find the sort of theme parks you’d see in Florida whilst on Devon holidays you can find plenty to enjoy at local family attractions like The Big Sheep or The Milky Way. Animal shows are popular and offer a great way to get your kids interested in the countryside. You might even learn something yourself. The Big Sheep also has a brewing show and a shop where you can buy ales made in their own onsite brewery.

Cornwall, of course, has the Eden Project and Land’s End as well as plenty of picturesque villages, whilst Somerset has the wonderful city of Bath and the magnificent cathedral in Wells.

So, whatever you’re after, whatever your budget, and however many people you’re travelling with, there should be something for you in the South West.
