Relaxing things to do
From visiting beautiful gardens, drifting over the dramatic countryside
in a balloon, to strolling along the spectacular South West Coast Path,
here a few suggestions of things you may like to do while enjoying a relaxing
break in South West England:
Attraction: Chesil Beach, Portland to Abbotsbury, Dorset
A new range of walking breaks are being launched by Foot Trails on the Wiltshire/Dorset Borders to lift the mood during the winter months.
From Now to February, Winter Warmer weekends will combine gentle walks through medieval villages where ancient chimneys furl wood smoke with hearty country pub lunches by the fire. The breaks can be taken as a guided weekend, in the company of a small group, or self-guided, for those who prefer to be more independent.
Attraction: The Venus Cafe, Kingsbridge, Devon
Three beautiful and unspoiled south facing beaches in South Devon.
Visit the beautiful beaches of East Portlemouth by passenger ferry from Salcombe; stop at the Venus Café to drink in the view.
Activity: Footscape, Cerne Abbas, Dorset
Walk at your own pace along the spectacular Jurassic Coast or through Dorset’s timeless inland landscapes.
Footscape offers an exclusive selection of meticulously researched walking holidays, Garden tours and heritage tours. Our hallmark is a warm welcome, personal service, excellent, hand-picked accommodation and a relaxing, hassle-free experience.
Attraction: Chapel Porth, St Agnes, Cornwall
A small sandy cove with spectacular views from the coastal path.
Chapel Porth is approximately two miles from St Agnes. At high tide the beach is a relatively small, but at low tide the miles of white sand stretch to the next beach at Porthtowan.
