After this morning's departures, we start our journey south, arriving at our hotel this afternoon.<br />

Take in the spectacular scenery of Dartmoor National Park as we head for RHS Garden Rosemoor. Surrounded by woodland, this garden features inspiring formal and informal seasonal displays, including an extensive collection of roses in summer, bluebell-carpeted walks in spring and autumnal colours in October: there's so much to explore!<br />

As the regional capital and home to a rich maritime heritage, Plymouth is one of Devon's most dynamic and fascinating places to stay. You'll find Plymouth Hoe, one of the most beautiful and picturesque natural harbours in the world, the iconic Smeaton's Tower lighthouse and the city's historic dockyards, all just a short walk from our hotel.

Today, we cross the county border into Cornwall with a stop in the seaside town of Looe. The resort prides itself on its fresh fish, so if you choose to partake your tastebuds will be satisfied with award-winning fish and chips or maybe a gourmet meal in one of the restaurants overlooking the harbour! Later, we take you to the incredible Eden Project. Home to the largest indoor rainforest in the world, this former clay pit is a botanist's dream; keep your eyes peeled for the exotic fruits growing inside!<br />

We return home with a visit to Exeter, the 'capital city' of Devon. Why not explore the magnificent Exeter Cathedral or take advantage of Exeter's stylish boutiques before we continue our journey?
