The 660-mile drive around England’s south west peninsula uses carefully-selected smaller roads that hug the coasts of Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. That’s why this route offers such great views of sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages, rugged headland and of course, the sea.

Designed for the ultimate slow travel experience, the South West 660 route encourages you to relax the pace and uncover the hidden secrets of this coastal gem.
