England (South West)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

England's South West is a diverse region stretching from the rolling hills of Wiltshire and Dorset to the rugged Atlantic coastlines of Devon and Cornwall. It is known for its dramatic cliffs, sweeping sandy beaches, and picturesque fishing villages such as St Ives, Padstow, and Salcombe. The region draws walkers to the South West Coast Path — the longest national trail in England at 630 miles — as well as surfers to world-class breaks at Newquay and Croyde. Rich in history, it is also home to landmarks like Stonehenge, Dartmoor National Park, and a thriving food and festival scene.

Stonehenge, Devon & Cornwall — Self-Launched Independent Version

A solo-friendly, self-launched take on On The Go Tours' 5-day Stonehenge, Devon & Cornwall small-group tour. Instead of a 16-seat minibus with a driver-guide, you'll string together trains, coaches and local branch-line buses — all bookable same-week — to hit the same headline sights: Stonehenge, Dartmoor's Postbridge clapper bridge, Tintagel Castle, Boscastle, Port Isaac, St Michael's Mount, Land's End, St Ives and Glastonbury Tor. Base yourself in Exeter (2 nights) and Falmouth (2 nights) in well-reviewed hostels, pubs-with-rooms or budget B&Bs. You lose the guide's commentary and the door-to-door convenience; you gain roughly £1,100 and total flexibility to linger where you like. Note that Day 4's optional Cornish highlights (Minack Theatre, St Michael's Mount, St Ives) are spread across a wide peninsula — pick two, not all four, unless you have a car. All costs are approximate backpacker/budget rates in GBP per person and exclude flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for England (South West) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
