The rough guide to Devon & Cornwall

Devon and Cornwall offer old cities, galleries in St Ives, and donkey sanctuaries, and this updated guide covers all of it for travelers planning a city visit, a seaside holiday, or a drive around the peninsula. Written by a team of authors who live in the region, it highlights the top stops along the way and shares practical advice on navigating the roads, joining walking tours, and seeing the area's cathedrals.
