So I think we have to decide between Devon or Cornwall. I really want to see the English country side, lovely villages, charming little towns and vast impressive nature. First I was thinking of Dartmoor national parc and a quick visit to Bath. But I might have to choose. So what do you suggest? Dartmoor and surroundings or Bath and everything around it? |

If there is to be a difficulty for you it may well be understanding road travel (assuming you are driving that is) because it's not exactly straight forward here. For example, if I were to drive from where I live in Oxford to London it would take about 45 mins (50 miles). However, another 50 miles in the direction of the South West could easily take double the time! |

Everywhere is worth seeing, so that's probably the only way to make your final choice. If you are driving then you will travel through Devonshire to get to Cornwall, even on the train you wiill at least see it. Right now I'm trying to plan our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Ireland. So much to see, so little time, I know how you are feeling. |

I'm not a fan of Bath mainly because I am not a city lover. I like to be away from the crowds. North Devon has some lovely rugged countryside - I adore Exmoor. South Devon has fantastic beaches and pretty villages as well as Dartmoor. North Cornwall is so different to south Cornwall. I love Marazion and the wonderful St Michaels Mount. The Eden Project is fantastic. Wherever you pick I know you will love it all! |
