Cornwall
Dartmoor National Park
Mount Edgcumbe House Country Park
Just north of Plymouth, Dartmoor National Park
is home to almost 1,000 sq kilometres of beautiful
moorland and offers stunning views deep into
Cornwall. A haven for anyone who loves the
outdoors, take a day trip or stay at a range of B&Bs
or country hotels and explore one of England’s most
dramatic landscapes.
Once home to the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe, the
house is surrounded by 865 acres of country park,

Tavistock
The Eden Project
This charming market town nestled below the
western edge of Dartmoor is within easy reach of
Plymouth and is close to Buckland Abbey, the 700
year old home of former Elizabethan seafarers Sir
Richard Greville and Sir Francis Drake. This is just
one of many stunning National Trust properties in
Devon and Cornwall.
No trip to Cornwall is complete without a visit to
the largest indoor rainforest in the world. The Eden
Project has been wowing visitors for more than 10
years and boasts a huge collection of plants housed
within vast biomes, and set amid landscaped
gardens inside a giant former clay pit. The Eden
Project is a great day out for the whole family.

Burgh Island
St Michael’s Mount
With its famous Art Deco hotel, now completely
restored to its 1930s glamour, Burgh Island off the
South Devon coast remains a romantic hideaway.
Linked to the mainland only by sea tractor at high
tide, Agatha Christie and Noel Coward were among its
regular guests. You can also sample the cosy Pilchard
Inn on the island.
An island hideaway located in Mount’s Bay, linked
by a tidal causeway to the west Cornwall mainland.
This iconic rocky island is still home to the St
Aubyn family as well as a small community and is
crowned by a medieval church and castle - with the
oldest buildings dating from the 12th Century.
