Cornwall has more than its fair share of sandy expanses. It is the UK's most south-westerly county and offers all things from watersport beaches such as Newquay, to pretty little havens like Kynance Cove. Cornwall is home to the popular little fishing town of Looe and the protected Roseland Peninsula.

National Parks and Countryside
We are lucky enough to have 15 incredible National Parks in the UK. These protected areas are each different and unique in their own way, with all of them offering their own variety of habitat and wildlife. Spring is a fantastic time to discover an area you haven't visited before; the evenings are lighter for longer and you can really blow away the cobwebs. Whether you fancy birdwatching on the wild moors of Exmoor, or mountain climbing in the iconic Peak District, you'll find staying in your perfect property really makes all the difference. Maybe you have never seen Snowdonia or would love to visit the chocolate-box villages of the Cotswolds – make this spring the time to do it!
