Cornwall is a county of great diversity, of strange customs & superstitions, of romantic legends & Arthurian myths. A county with its own language, culture and outlook. Boasting a proud individuality & resilient independence.

The Cotswolds is rich in imagery: dry-stone walls divide the vast, sweeping sheep pastures, winding trout streams meander through the rich pastureland scattered with quaint hamlets. An idyllic scene rarely bettered in England.

Devon is England’s third largest country & is described as the most beautiful. A land of rich pastures; rivers & woodland encompassing two National Parks, & a coastline diverse in its ruggedness & endless charm.

The Lake District is compact & varied & has a landscape of such intense beauty that it mesmerised the C19 poets leaving them lost for words... But away from the tourist filled honey pots lie often deserted & secluded valleys, tarns & dales.
