| Fill your day with a walk on the moors, lunch in a village pub, or an afternoon spotting wildlife in wooded valleys and perhaps an evening at the Minack Theatre, perched on the cliffs of West Cornwall.
Beautiful Countryside in Devon
The protected and unspoilt landscape of the Blackdown Hills, nestling on the Devon border with Somerset, has a truly magical feel, with rolling green hills dotted with sleepy villages full of rustic charm. The area offers great horse-riding, walking and cycling trails as well as traditional rural arts and crafts courses.
Dozens of nature reserves also offer protection for wildlife and their habitats, as well as much interest for visitors. Braunton Burrows has been designated as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve for its unique dune system and exceptional flora and fauna. Others include Yarner Woods on Dartmoor and Wembury Marine Conservation Area near the mouth of the Tamar River.
Ruby Country, Devon
Ruby Country in Devon provides some of the most varied and accessible countryside. With quiet country roads, green lanes, easy hills, wooded trails and the banks of smooth flowing rivers offering the perfect surroundings for walking, cycling and horse-riding.
St Just Heritage Area, Cornwall
Hauntingly dramatic, rugged and isolated, this area is situated off the north coast of the most westerly tip of Cornwall, where the North Atlantic seas meet. Its great mineral wealth has resulted in the largest, most internationally important and visually imposing concentration of mining monuments in the county, while its natural environment is characterised by spectacular coastland, ancient stone circles and unique pre-historic field systems.
