What's South West England like?

South West England is the largest of England’s nine regions. Home to Stonehenge, Avebury stone circle, Stourhead Landscape Gardens, and in addition Bath and Salisbury Cathedral. However, it’s also home to places which won’t appear on a Google search or in most tour itineraries. It’s these places we love to show you. The secret and the hidden gems. The crowd free.  The England you’ve probably dreamed of but not known how to access. The places only a local would know.
