What to expect
Venture into the West Country, a true revelation of England — from sandy beaches to vast countryside of hills, forest and moorland, where crowds don't exist and the only sounds are soothing and natural. This five-day journey takes you into a pace of life long gone elsewhere: quaint lanes, sleepy villages, the romance of King Arthur, and the wild granite spaces of Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor where ponies and red deer roam.
