beach, voted one of the ten finest beaches in Europe by Sunday Times

The coastal village of Charmouth in Dorset offers dramatic
Jurassic Coast views. The sandy and pebbly beach is popular with fossil hunters
and is about 7
minutes' walk from the The
Old Manor House, a beautifully and
carefully refurbished 16th
century Grade II listed building.
There’s a great sense of history down at St Mawes in Cornwall, where
two beaches would have once been watched over by royalty at Henry VIII’s
castle. Coppers is within easy walking
distance of St Mawes beaches
and village centre, with a beautiful
south-westerly view over St Mawes River and Falmouth Bay. See the
coastline from a different angle by catching the pedestrian ferry across to
Falmouth.
Kellaton in the South Hams is ideal for those looking for a sandy
stretch of beach to stroll along. The sleepy, tranquil hamlet with occasional
vehicle and horse-rider passing through is a mile from the lovely, unspoilt
sandy beach at Lannacombe and
coast path to Start Point.
Enjoy the peace and quiet at Orchard View.
