Holsworthy
Holsworthy is a thriving market town situated in North Devon. Forty miles in one direction and you're in Exeter, forty in another and you're in Plymouth.
Holsworthy was first mentioned in the Domesday Book as being the estate of Harold, son of Godwin, 1053 and known as Haroldsworthy, although then it was spelt Haldurdi or Hadiward.
The town's prosperity is much reliant upon agriculture, although some light industry has been developed over recent years. Holsworthy boasts one of the largest livestock markets in the South West. Markets are held each Wednesday and Thursday and it's a lively business

Bude
Today Bude continues to welcome visitors as it has always done. The town is well placed to enjoy the spectacular coastal path scenery and is also blessed with beautiful sandy beaches. Surfing is possible on nearly all the beaches, boards may be hired and instruction arranged. During June, July and August, many beaches are patrolled by lifeguards, and if you wish to swim when the tide is out there is a seawater open air pool and "The Splash", a modern well equipped leisure centre.

Tintagel
Tintagel is worth a visit if only to see the Old Post Office, a fourteenth century manor house with a topsy turvy slated roof, or to walk out to the ruins of the 12th century Castle, birthplace of so many Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In Tintagel village there are also several Inns and restaurants.
On the cliffs overlooking the sea spectacular views are to be had. After stopping to have a look at the Castle Remains cross the wooden bridge to Tintagel Island and the monastery ruins. Even more memorable with a winter gale lashing in from far out in the Atlantic Ocean.

Boscastle
A unique, cosy retreat where the river meets the sea. On the South West Coast Path the superb coastal scenery of the area provides excellent walking country and lovers of literature will appreciate the local Thomas Hardy connections. Much of the around this picturesque north Cornish harbour and village is owned by the National Trust, including the cliffs of Penally Point and Willapark which guard the sinuous harbour entrance, Forrabury Common, high above the village and divided into ancient ‘stitchmeal’ cultivation plots, and large areas of woodland and meadow in the lovely Valency Valley

Tarka Trail
The Tarka Trail, over 180 miles in length taking a looping route through North and Mid Devon, from the rugged Atlantic Coast, the Estuaries of the Two Rivers of Tarka the Otter fame, the Rivers Taw and Torridge through rural Devon Countryside onto the Northern Slopes of Dartmoor, and the source of the River Taw. Ideal for cycling and walking along.

Dartmoor
Dartmoor’s landscape is of great archaeological importance, with over 10,000 entries on the County Sites and Monuments Register. There are over 1,000 Scheduled Ancient Monuments and this figure rises each year. Prehistoric evidence is everywhere to be seen from standing stones, stone rows, barrows and kistvaens. Later farming, quarrying and tin mining dramatically changed the landscape, over printing an archaeological heritage to the area.
