The neighbouring counties of Devon and Cornwall in the south west of England have a long history stretching back to pre-Roman times and the region is one of the United Kingdom’s most popular holiday destinations. Both Devon and Cornwall have pretty villages with stone built cottages, beautiful beaches and wide expanses of open moorland. For outdoor enthusiasts hiking in national parks and coastal walks are a wonderful way to spend a sunny day. For lovers of water sports there are surf spots where beginners and experts can ride the waves coming in from the Atlantic Ocean.
