  2. You don't need to travel abroad to find sun, sand and surf. It's a lot less stressful and much easier on the pocket to visit the English Riviera.
  3. The leaves change into their glorious jewel-like colours and our cosy pubs and restaurants offer snug shelter from the autumn weather.
  4. Enjoy our almost uninhabited award-winning beaches, magical woodland walks, beautifully landscaped parks & rugged cliffs.
