We’ve climbed mountains, scouted out the best beaches, explored National Parks, and visited vineyards (it’s hard work but someone’s got to do it!) to bring you the best tips on places to go during your next UK holiday.
If you’re coming to the South West and can’t wait to get into the water, this is the list for you. We’ve compiled a list of the best beaches to go swimming so you can get straight into the action.
