Featured Destinations

Dorset

Dorset

Dorset is a historic coastal city located along the English Channel. Beautiful countryside, coastline with spectacular beaches, historic castles and gardens, endless outdoor activities for all ages – Dorset has something for everyone to enjoy.
Dartmoor

Dartmoor

Because Dartmoor remains a wilderness, it is a favorite destination for nature lovers and those who love the outdoors. For centuries Dartmoor has been shrouded in some of Britain’s darkest myths and legends. But in the height of spring and summer when Dartmoor looks at its best, its ominous reputation seems a long way off. You don’t have to be hiking and striding around the moors to really get a feel for the place. The villages on the fringes of the moors are as much a part of Dartmoor as the moor itself. They fall under National Parkland, which means they’re protected, so little has changed here since the 1950s. For decades, summer visitors have followed a well-trodden route across the moor, stopping off at picturesque villages along the way.
Barnstaple
Plymouth, UK

Plymouth, UK

In Plymouth, there is always something great to do. As the regional capital of Devon and Cornwall, Plymouth is an extraordinary blend of vibrant modern city and historic seafaring port.
