Lots to Do on Two Coasts.

FRANCIS
DRAKE

        HOME AT FIRST's West Country cottages make an ideal base for discovering some of the best of English history, culture, and geography. Two coastlines north Devon coast along the Bristol Channel, and the south Devon coast along the English Channel are within an hour or so of the cottages. Their beaches, resorts towns, fishing villages, coves, walking paths, lighthouses, dramatic cliffs, and magnificent headlands offer some of the finest coastal exploring in Britain.
        Devon's principal city, Plymouth, is reached in about twenty minutes from
HOME AT FIRST's Devonshire cottages. From here the Pilgrims set off for America, Sir Francis Drake made the world's oceans British lakes, and the Royal Navy continues to maintain a presence.
 

 

Lots to do in Classic English countryside.

        Inland, the sweeping high moorlands of Dartmoor National Park dominate west central Devon and offer exemplary walking and touring in the wildest parts of southern England. Between the coasts and the moorlands are a myriad of convoluted valleys, each settled with ancient hamlets and villages, many featuring classic English thatched cottages, pubs with great character, and restaurants with great food and drink.
        There are hundreds of activities and attractions we have not mentioned from steam railways to D-Day monuments to eccentric museums to pony trekking. Most importantly, we think Devon offers visitors the opportunity to discover the traditional England of their imagination, and the surprising England of the present.

In our customers' own words— A
            "What a great home base it proved to be for our Devon and Cornwall day trip wanderings. As you undoubtedly know, the driving on the back roads in Devon and Cornwall is not for the faint of heart, but I find it to be a delightful challenge — and it does serve the purposed of slowing things down and encouraging polite/thoughtful driving habits which is not all bad."

TAKE THE KIDS!

Family-friendly London.            
        Should we bring the kids along? Are you kidding?! There are great parks, steam train rides and boat rides better than in any amusement park, and, oh yes, amusement parks, too. Want history to come alive for your kids? Why not take them where so much history has been made? Worried about being away from McDonald's and TV? Don't be. Kids of all ages can get their burgers, fries and CNN all over Britain. And, who knows, maybe the kids will discover new tastes: fish 'n chips, ice lollies, and the fun of exploring thousands of years of English history from Stonehenge to Tintagel Castle to the Industrial Revolution.
