This end-to-end road-trip factors in the must-see sights of Devon and Cornwall. Begin in
the city of
Exeter
, where you can get a grandstand view from the top of the cathedral's
towers. Then head west into the wilds of
Dartmoor
, a strange landscape of open heaths,
twisted tors, and pretty villages such as Chagford and Widecombe-in-the-Moor. More
wide-open scenery unfolds as you travel over windswept
Bodmin Moor
en route to
Pad-
stow
, the little port that has reinvented itself as Cornwall's culinary hotspot.
South of Padstow, in a disused claypit, loom the giant greenhouses of the
Eden Project
,
which house trees and plants from across the globe. Heading southwest brings you via the
Cornish capital of
Truro
to the historic harbour of
Falmouth
, a lively university town
where you can explore the county's sea-going heritage at the National Maritime Museum.
