The West Country Feature

Do you plan to travel by car and want to be far from resorts, traffic jams, and hubbub? One way to experience the authentic rural life in Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall is to stay on a farm. Cartwheel Holidays' Web site (www.cartwheelholidays.co.uk) gives details about working farms that supply accommodations—including bed-and-breakfasts and house rentals—throughout the region. Other reference points are Visit Devon (www.visitdevon.co.uk), for farms in Devon, and Cornish Farm Holidays (www.cornishfarmholidays.co.uk), for Cornwall.
