Newquay has always had a special place in my heart! I took my first holiday there with just my friends, and it was a fun two-week trip filled with long sunny days, colourful VW Kombi van-lined cliff tops, gazing at surfer from long white sandy beaches, and dancing every night. It wasn\u2019t quite Ibiza – but as teenagers, it almost felt like it!<\/p>\n

After years of wanting to return, I planned a nostalgia-fuelled trip with Gary Nunn<\/a>, our team videographer (and drone operator), to capture some of the beauty of this extraordinary corner of England.<\/p>\n

We were looking for the perfect weekend trip which combined a mix of dramatic beach views, pretty fishing villages, and wild moors, so we decided on a Cornwall and Devon road trip squeezing in exploring Newquay<\/em>, Polperro<\/em>, and Dartmoor<\/em> in just three days, over a long weekend (it could also be a short mid-week trip).<\/p>\n

The itinerary turned out to be a fantastic way to pack in some of the South West\u2019s most scenic highlights in just a few days so I\u2019ve included the full route and our trip itinerary<\/em> at the end of the article.<\/p>\n
