Other Towns & Villages Of Interest In Cornwall &
Devon
Isles Of Scilly (Cornwall)
About 30 miles west of Lands End (Cornwall) are the
mysterious and little known islands called the Isles Of Scilly. As you might
expect, the isles have a very mild climate and are populated with sub-tropical
plants.
The Isles of Scilly are well worth a visit, though be
warned that holiday makers are not permitted to bring cars. This means that
there is very little traffic here, even in the highest populated region of St
Mary’s.
The once populated Samson is an interesting place to call
– now deserted, it has only the remains of ancient cottages.
Teignmouth (Devon)
This is a town that was battered pretty badly during World
War 2. In the present day, it’s an interesting sea-facing town that has an
unusual mix of 19th century buildings and a fair amount to offer
the passing visitor.
Most of the facilities of interest to holiday makers are
concentrated in or around the "den" area (the area of space along the main
seafront). It’s here that you’ll find the pier, cinemas, swimming pool and
theatre.
Shaldon (Devon)
Very close by to Teignmouth is the unspoilt village of
Shaldon. It’s a quiet little place that is peppered with attractive cottages
and the views along the estuary are really quite charming. Visitors may want to
take a look inside the Shaldon Wildlife Trust.
