The South West
Dramatic Clifftops, pristine golden sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages and soaring blue skies abound in the world-class coastline surrounding the South-West. This region attracts countless tourists each year due to its spectacular natural beauty, the golden perfection of the Cotswolds, and the regions rich sense of culture and tradition. It’s also one of the country’s best places to eat and drink, with Cornish Pasties, Cheddar Cheese and the Cream Tea some of the regions more iconic highlights. The South West is home to some inspiring rural businesses who really know how to stand out from the crowd.
