Both counties are not home to many major cities like the rest of the UK, and so getting a train can be more tricky. Exeter in Devon and Plymouth in Cornwall are the two main cities that are

most accessible. Although many towns have train stations, some of the smaller villages on the coast are only accessible via car. And even the towns with train stations can have a very

limited schedule. You could also hire a coach to one of the larger towns and then hire a car or get a taxi to your location. For those in the north of England, you could fly to either Exeter

Airport or Cornwall Airport Newquay. WHAT IS THERE TO DO IN DEVON AND CORNWALL? For all those plant-lovers out there, the Eden Project is a must-visit which is home to one of the world’s

largest greenhouses and has become one of Cornwall’s most famous landmarks. Another place to visit is St Michael’s Mount which has become one of Cornwall’s most iconic images. The mount is

an island that can only be accessed from Marazion via a cobbled causeway that is only visible when the tide is out or via a ferry. It’s also topped with an abbey that was built by

Benedictine monks during the 12th century. St Ives is also home to the Tate gallery that has a spectacular exhibition space which is definitely worth a visit if you’re an art lover. Exeter

Cathedral in Devon is both magnificent, and one of the most impressive ecclesiastical sights in the UK. If you love reading then Greenway in Devon is worth a visit. The summer home of crime
