Afternoon tea in the South West

Home to some of the UK’s prettiest seaside resorts, the glorious landscapes of the West Country and the exciting, diverse city of Bristol, this colourful region has always been popular with tourists.

But whatever the reason for your visit, there’s a special reason to take afternoon tea in the South West. Amongst other famous contributions to British cuisine (like the Cornish pasty) it’s also the home of Devonshire clotted cream, a key element of the cream tea. So whether exploring the National Parks, historic cities such as Exeter and Bath, World Heritage sites like Stonehenge or sunbathing on the beaches of Devon and Cornwall, make time to savour freshly baked scones, homemade clotted cream, local jams and a pot of loose leaf tea.

Bickleigh Castle

We have just returned from a trip to Bickleigh Castle. It was a very lovely day out. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the castle's history and he had a few anecdotes to keep everyone interested. The talk took much longer than anticipated but the time went really quickly as he was so interesting and we were very glad we had the guided tour as we would have missed out on a lot of the history etc. The cream tea was delicious and we sat in the sunshine enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of this quite unique place.
