Jamie Oliver's Fifteen

Posted by paulanddiane 13 April 2012

We have had breakfast and lunch here, essential to book. Quality food and laid back atmosphere.
A must but be prepared for a lot of yummy mummies and kiddies.

Restaurant below Jamie Oliver's place at Watergate Bay.
Essential to book and great food but not that cheap.

Roadtrip to Newquay

Posted by FM1721 3 September 2010

Newquay is more than a paradise for surfers, it's place of stunning seaside with impressive rocks. Newquay can also be final destination of a roadtrip through SW-England. Starting in London this route could lead to Weymouth - Lyme Regis - Beer - Torquay - Plymouth - Fowey - St. Austell - Newquay. This roadtrip takes at least three days and is worth every single second.
A few impression of my route through Dorset, Devon and Cornwall can be found on www.fm1721.com/pictures/uk/cornwall-devon-dorset/

Early morning winter surfing

Posted by allypw 11 June 2010

Getting up at 4am and getting changed into an already wet wetsuit in a freezing cold (and probably rainy) car park may not sound like fun to many, but to watch the sun emerge from behind Cornish cliffs as you paddle out into uncrowded waves with just a few friends, is British surfing paradise. But if you got up this early, the waves will make it all worthwhile. Sharing the natural beauty of early morning waves and a beautiful coastline with just a few other enthusiastic surfers makes these experiences so special, far removed from the aggressive and competitive atmosphere found elsewhere in UK surf culture. The freezing conditions and early start make every wave you catch all the more gratifying, and afterwards, muscles comfortably aching, you can enjoy a fresh Cornish pasty from a local village knowing you deserve it.

The rich south-west coast line provides a wealth of opportunity, especially off-season.
