From our guide to Devon & Cornwall
Gill and Robert are so good at growing vegetables (organically) they supply the local restaurants; all is cut and delivered within three hours. They're pretty good at looking after you too...
It is the sheer diversity of these western outposts that continues to lure holiday makers, artists, surfers and old timers looking for a bit of peace: welcome to our mini guide to Devon and Cornwall. There's no better place to bowl down an emerald-fringed narrow road and arrive at the sparkling coast, be pummelled by wild waves and crashing breakers, then half a mile inland have a cream tea outside a thatched cottage with not a hint of breeze. Unearth the treasures - cultural, sporting, gastronomic - of both counties at your own pace, and introduce yourself to some special places to stay along the way.
