when it comes to white sand wild surf
and wide open skies
nowhere in britain can compare to devon
and cornwall
on the far west coast of britain these
neighbouring counties are celebrated for
their natural charms
craggy cliffs cloaked in gorse rocky
tours on empty moors and golden beaches
every year millions of visitors flock
here
and with miles of coastline countryside
and cliff tops to explore it's no wonder
[Music]
rising from a cornish clay pit just
outside saint austral these futuristic
biomes have become a symbol of
cornwall's creative renaissance
this remote island archipelago is
cornwall's answer to the caribbean
blessed with a laid-back lifestyle
electric blue water and some of the best
beaches anywhere in britain the islands
are hard to leave
a place where nature still holds sway
the only sign of human habitation here
is a few scattered farmhouses and dry
stone walls
dartmoor national park is also one of
the few areas in britain where wild
camping is still legal
this mighty gothic cathedral in the
center of devon's oldest city is the
region's foremost house of worship its
most notable features are the decorative
facade and an impressive vaulted ceiling
tucked in beside a grand curve of
coastline with a jumble of slate roofs
narrow lanes and golden beaches st ives
is quite simply one of cornwall's most
beautiful sights
[Music]
in summer prices are high and hotels and
campsites are busy but september through
may sees prices drop
travel costs in devon and cornwall can
range from less than 80 pounds a day if
you enjoy a hostel bed and public
transport to over 150 pounds a day for a
luxury hotel and meals in top-end
restaurants
having your own wheels is the best way
to explore but trains connect most
larger towns and buses are convenient
for reaching smaller villages
neolithic monuments street parties and a
reputation as one of britain's
gastronomic hot spots
while the scenery is undoubtedly the
star attraction there's more to devon
and cornwall
it's a landscape just waiting to be
explored
