South-West England encompasses some of Britain’s most beloved holiday destinations — from Cornwall’s rugged coastline and picture-perfect fishing villages to Wiltshire’s ancient monuments and Devon’s dramatic moorland. These travel guides answer the practical questions that actually matter when you’re planning a trip: whether you can park at Polperro harbour, how much the Stonehenge car parking costs, if it’s safe to swim at Lizard Point Beach, and whether the infamous monkeys at Longleat will genuinely damage your car. You’ll find honest, experience-based advice covering Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and Wiltshire — the sort of detailed information that helps you avoid mistakes and make better decisions about where to spend your time.
Cornwall dominates the coverage here, with practical guides to everything from hiring bodyboards at Perranporth Beach to understanding Eden Project ticket pricing, exploring the highlights near popular holiday parks like Hengar Manor and Bodmin Holiday Park, and discovering how to access the best bit of Tintagel Castle without paying. There’s also guidance on wildlife encounters — including how to behave around seals at Lizard Point — and essential local information about ferry crossings, beach safety, and hidden gems like the unexpected sculpture highlight of the Eden Project.
Beyond Cornwall, you’ll find guides to Berry Pomeroy Castle in Devon (England’s most haunted castle), Shepton Mallet Prison in Somerset, and key Wiltshire attractions including Old Sarum, Malmesbury Abbey, and of course Stonehenge. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a romantic escape, or simply want to explore Britain’s spectacular south-western corner with more confidence, these articles provide the practical details and insider knowledge that generic guidebooks consistently miss. More South-West England travel stories will be added soon.
