Devon & Cornwall Coastal Loop
Departing from Exeter, loop through Dartmoor, the South and North Cornwall coasts, and Land's End.
This clockwise loop around the peninsula takes you through Dartmoor's wild moorlands, along south coast fishing villages and gardens, to Land's End and St Ives on the western tip, returning via the north coast's surfing beaches and Tintagel. Driving distances are short but country lanes are narrow, making it ideal for couples and repeat visitors to the UK. This route skips Exmoor and the Lizard Peninsula.
During summer holidays, roads are busy and parking in St Ives is difficult; May–June and September are more comfortable.
