Leave your cares behind on a leisurely road trip through three of the UK’s most captivating counties.

Perhaps the ultimate luxury is time? And there’s plenty of time to do with as you wish on this lazy two-week road trip around the southwestern corners of England. Starting in sleepy Somerset, make a visit to deep cider country, then carry on to north Devon and the wide-open spaces of Exmoor. Cross to the south Devon coast and stay amidst the dramatic headland of Bolt Tail before hugging the coastline on your way to Cornwall’s prettiest fishing village. Travel all the way to the furthest reaches of the UK mainland before a final stop by the north Cornwall coast.

We’ve criss-crossed the West Country many times, seeking out the best routes, the cosiest accommodation and most engaging experiences, always uncovering so you can get on with discovering. Let this trip be the springboard to your own unique adventure – we can easily tailor it to your specific requirements with an upgrade here, a detour there – just let us know when you enquire.
