With Cornwall’s rugged coast and Devon’s moorland and beaches, it’s an area with stunning landscapes and a slower pace of life.

On 13 September Devon and Somerset Staghounds (DSSH) once again showed just how ugly the face of stag hunting really is.

I’m biased, but I think that the South West is the best area of the country for hiking. Footpaths here climb over open moorland, trace the tops of sea cliffs and run between old stone cottages in historic villages. The South West Coast Path traces over 600 miles of coastline.

The Edgcumbe Belle bobbed around in the surf as we set off on the 8-minute crossing to Cremyll. With the sun shining, ferry-goers basked on deck for the short journey across the Hoamaze.

Devon: it’s a glorious county that I’m very lucky to be living in. We have more than 130 beaches, with surf spots, family-friendly swimming bays and fishing villages.
