The South West is one of the largest but least populated regions of the England comprised of several counties, including Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire.
It’s a popular holiday resort thanks to its feeling of tranquillity, good weather (for England) and its extremely long coastline – the longest of any UK region. You can find plenty of fantastic shepherd’s hut holidays down here.
