Synopsis

This work has been prepared as a general introduction to the two counties of Devon and Cornwall. It is designed to enhance a visit at any time of the year, with an emphasis on Spring, Autumn and Winter months. It contains details of places of interest, selected attractions and leisure pursuits (including walking, fishing, golfing, bird watching, shooting, sailing and bowls), potted histories of cities, towns and villages, famous sons and daughters of the past, a range of hotels, restaurants, inns and guest houses, and it presents a tour of the region in a mainly clockwise direction. Each of the ten chapters covers a defined area followed by a section of venues in the area and where you can dine or stay. Famous places, and less-well-known areas are treated alike, including such information as best ways of getting to a place (road, path, train etc.), and opening times and telephone numbers where possible. The guide details the peninsula's castles, churches, mansions, tropical and sub-tropical gardens, and a range of museums and heritage sites. There are also the works of local artists displayed in galleries and studios. The introduction has an overview of the physical setting and its land and people, and there is information on how to stay free.
