Explore this stunning county

This is a county that has something that appeals to everyone. Whether you are looking to take long countryside walks along the coast, or prefer the idea of an adrenaline rush on a surf board, it is great place for a holiday. There are some wonderful walks, and with excellent maps and waymarks it is easy to explore on your own. The incredible sea views, the extensive moorlands and the long winding footpaths that take you over endless fields, through woodlands and past delightful little streams make walking in this county nothing but a pleasure.

There are also plenty of opportunities to cycle, with good cycle paths and hire shops and some excellent route maps too. For those who love fishing, this is the perfect place. Fish is a specialty here and you will find fine fish dishes on the menu of every restaurant in the coastal villages. In fact, the food in this county has been made famous in recent years by well-known celebrity chefs; they promote the excellent quality of the ingredients and the wonderful local dishes the county offers.

Beach lovers have no shortage of choice either, and there are beaches suitable for surfers, beaches great for family fun and others perfect for those just wanting some peace and quiet. Eight of the county's beaches made it into the UK’s top ten list, which bodes very well for those who love a beach holiday not too far from home.

Bring Your Pets

For many people, the dog is part of the family and should definitely be included on the family holiday. With so much countryside to explore here it would be a shame not to bring your dog. There is plenty of accomodation that accepts dogs, but it is best to check first. There will usually be a charge and well behaved dogs only are allowed, but it is definitely possible to include them in your holiday fun.
