Other Towns & Villages Of Interest In Cornwall & Devon

Isles Of Scilly (Cornwall)

About 30 miles west of Lands End (Cornwal) are the mysterious and little known islands called the Isles Of Scilly. As you might expect, the isles have a very mild climate and is populated with sub-tropical plants. Easily reached by ferry the Scilly Isles are an ideal location for a weekend break.

The Isles of Scilly are well worth a visit, though be warned that holiday makers are not permitted to bring cars. This means that there is very little traffic here, even in the highest populated region of St Mary’s. There is a feeling of tranquillity and serenity in the Isles that makes for a very relaxing stay.

The once populated Samson is an interesting place to call – now deserted, it has only the remains of ancient cottages. 

Teignmouth (Devon)

This is a town that was battered pretty badly during World War 2. In the present day, it’s an interesting sea-facing town that has an interesting mix of 19^th century buildings and a fair amount to offer the visitor looking for a quieter holiday.

Most of the facilities of interest to holiday makers are concentrated in or around the den area (the area of space along the main seafront). It’s here that you’ll find the pier, cinemas, swimming pool and theatre.Further back you will find lots of small gardens hidden away.

Shaldon (Devon)

Very close by to Teignmouth is the unspoilt village of Shaldon. It’s a quiet little place that is peppered with attractive cottages and the views along the estuary are really quite charming. Visitors may want to take a look inside the Shaldon Wildlife Trust.
