Featured Destinations

Barnstaple
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.
Cardiff

Cardiff

Through the valleys of South Wales, Cardiff, the Welsh capital, sits on this beautiful portion of Wales’ coast. Cardiff is famous for its imposing Castle and the new Millennium stadium.
