St Mary’s is the largest island in the group which makes up the Isles of Scilly and Hugh Town is the main town on the island.

Above Hugh Town, is the Star Castle Hotel. It was originally built during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I for the defence of the Isles of Scilly. Star Castle was built in the shape of an eight pointed star and was converted into an hotel in 1933. It now offers guests the chance to stay in a castle dating from 1593 which has been elegantly restored and furnished for the modern holidaymaker.

Star Castle Hotel, St Marys

The views from the hotel are magnificent; the views which were once necessary to protect the Islands can now be enjoyed by its guests.

There is plenty to do on St Mary’s, it is possible to walk around the island in one day, taking in the views and learning about the history of the island as you go. If you don’t want to walk the whole of the coast path there is a bus which will take you to the north of the island and you can then walk back to Hugh Town via Porth Hellick and Old Town.

Visit Halangy Down, the prehistoric settlement dating from the Bronze and Iron Age, continue your walk passing Pelistry Bay the best place to stop for a swim in the clear sea.

Porthcressa Beach, St Mary's

From the busy city of Exeter to the open wilderness of Dartmoor, and everywhere in between, there is plenty to see for the whole family on a holiday in Devon.
Devon is the last county before Cornwall when travelling from Bristol or London, so is a great place to stop on your tour of southwest England.
Exeter is the southwest’s largest city and therefore offers many options for your holiday visit. The modern high street has all the shops and restaurants to keep you busy all day, but Exeter is most recognisable for its historic town centre. The cathedral is a stunning example of English architecture, but the combination of Roman, medieval and modern developments create a unique experience.
There are regular flights from Dusseldorf to Exeter throughout the summer months.

The English Riviera is just west of Exeter, and includes Torquay, Paignton, and Salcombe. It is one of the most popular family holiday destinations in the South West. The Victorian seaside towns are now modern resorts with great beaches, palm fringed esplanades offering a variety of family activities for children of all ages.
Further west, on your way into Cornwall, is Dartmoor National Park. For walking holidays, the rugged landscape and rocky tors of Dartmoor are well worth a visit. The famous wild Dartmoor ponies making their homes in the local villages will amaze your children.

There is still plenty to see on the north coast of Devon. There are the historic river ports of Barnstaple and Bideford and the wonderful sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe are perfect for young children or surfing teenagers.

Bath is a hugely popular holiday destination where you can take in Britain’s iconic history and entertain the whole family.

Whether landing at Bristol Airport from Berlin, or taking a short break from visiting London, you are within easy reach of one of Southern England’s best holiday spots.

Bath is a town unlike any other in the UK, and is recognised as a World Heritage City because of this special individuality. The Roman Baths, which use the unique hot water springs beneath the town, are Bath’s most famous attraction, and are unmissable on any holiday in Bath.

For a very English treat, go into the Pump Room at the Roman Baths to enjoy a cup of tea using the clean, clear Bath spring water.

Pulteney Bridge Bath

The town has stunning architecture from many eras, especially Georgian. The Pulteney Bridge across the River Avon is a major Bath landmark worth visiting. The shops on both sides of the road over the bridge are a very unusual sight!

Another highlight is the Royal Crescent, which is a curved terrace of Georgian townhouses. One of the houses has been renovated to show what life in Bath would have been like 200 years ago.

Royal Crescent

Bath has plenty of modern attractions as well.  The shops, bars and restaurants set in amongst the traditional architecture are a pleasant blend of the old and the new. You could hire bikes for the whole family to explore the idyllic River Avon, or relax in the luxury of Thermae Bath Spa.

Nathan’s restaurant on Cornwall’s north coast is located in the small town of Rock, close to Padstow. The fact that it holds 2 Michelin Stars has undoubtedly brought customers to Rock all year-round and given recognition to the quality of his cooking and the incredible local produce.

2012 looks like continuing the success of 2011 with the beautiful new menu receiving sensational feedback. There are a few tweaks to the format and a delicious extra course.  A selection of the southwest’s best cheese is now integrated into the tasting menu.

In May, the release of Nathan’s Seafood Book, showcasing his unique take on making use of Cornish ingredients, looks set to be incredibly exciting in raising his profile far outside Cornwall.

Nathan Outlaw hosts master classes throughout the year to show diners close up how he creates the dishes that have gained him such acclaim, alongside another famous chef from the region. The guest chef will cook 3 courses and then Nathan cooks 3 courses inspired by their style. There is space for about 50 lucky people, who get the chance to ask questions and have some wine. It’s much more than just a dinner.

Here is a video of him working at the St Enodoc Hotel last July with Mitch Tonks, a great seafood chef from Devon.

A visit to Rock or Padstow isn’t really complete without trying the sumptuous eight course tasting menu – a real treat in its own right and one of UrlaubCornwall’s essential tips for a restaurant in Cornwall.

Star Gazy Pie is not something which you will see on many restaurant menus or even have heard of at all. If you travel to the fishing village of Mousehole on your holiday in Cornwall you can visit the place where it was invented.

A story is told of how in 16^th Century a brave fisherman called Tom Bawcock saved the village from starvation. The winter had been a very stormy one and no fishing boats had been able to leave the harbour; the villagers who relied on fish had no food left.

On the 23^rd December Tom Bawcock braved the storms and went out in his boat and caught enough fish to feed the entire village. All the fish were baked in a pie with head poking out of the top of the pie to prove that there were fish inside.

The 23^rd December is now celebrated in Mousehole as Tom Bawcocks Eve, a huge pie is made and paraded with lanterns before being eaten.
