History
Whether it's gazing out from the battlements of a medieval castle or wandering
among the menhirs of an ancient stone circle, you'll find Devon and Cornwall both
have a wealth of history to explore. Mining, methodism and maritime exploration
have all played a key role in shaping the region's past, and you'll encounter a litany of
fascinating figures - from the swashbuckling explorer Francis Drake to the mythical
figure of King Arthur, whose legendary name is linked to countless sites around the
southwest.
