Summary of DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide: Devon & Cornwall by Robert Andrews

Uncover must-see spots in Devon and Cornwall with the DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide. Embrace adventure and savor local delights!

Ah, the DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide: Devon & Cornwall! This delightful piece of travel literature is here to inform, entertain, and probably overwhelm you with an abundance of places to see that you didn't even know you wanted to visit. Strap in, because we're about to take a whirlwind trip through the stunning southwest of England, where the clotted cream is as thick as the accent and the pasties are always a tourist trap waiting to happen!

First up, let's talk about what you can expect from this handy guide. Think of it as your friendship bracelet to the beautiful regions of Devon and Cornwall, covering all those must-see spots that'll have your Instagram feed shouting, "I'm on vacation, baby!" If you're looking for the top 10 highlights, you're in luck! The guide lays it all out for you like a buffet - just without the calories (or the awkward small talk with Uncle Bob while you line up).

In Devon, you've got everything from the picturesque Dartmoor National Park, where you can pretend to be a rugged explorer (or just take a nice selfie with a Dartmoor pony) to Exeter, where the stunning cathedral will make you feel like you've accidentally wandered into a Harry Potter movie. And let's not forget about Torquay, which is basically a beachy paradise where the sun shines brighter than your future - or at least until you run out of sunscreen.

Now, flip the page and let's get down to Cornwall, where the cliffs are steeper, the tea is stronger, and the charm is off the charts. The guide takes you through St Ives, a quaint little seaside town packed with art galleries and shops selling everything from funky trinkets to overpriced Cornish fudge. You can also explore the Land's End, which, let's face it, sounds more like the setting for an epic fantasy novel than a travel destination, but there you go! If you don't take a picture next to that sign declaring, "This is the end of the land!" did you even go?

The guide also spills the tea on the local cuisine - think cream teas, where you learn the age-old debate of whether to put the jam or the cream first (spoiler: there's no wrong answer, but your ancestors may roll in their graves).

As if that's not enough, there are detailed maps, insider tips, and suggestions on what to do if the rain doesn't get the memo that you're on holiday (hint: it usually does!). Each section is peppered with colorful photographs that will have you dreaming about your next trip (or at least craving a good pasty).

So there you have it, folks! With the DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide: Devon & Cornwall, you're not just getting directions; you're getting a ticket to adventure! But remember, it can be a bit like ordering a Cornish pasty-there's a lot wrapped up in there, and it's up to you to dig in and find the juicy bits. Happy travels!
