M: For most language learners, London is the top place to go. They think London is an English learner's dream destination — it's the place you've read about in articles and seen on TV.
However, there are many other great destinations in the UK too, one of which is South West England. The most popular regions in South West England are the counties of Devon and Cornwall. They are by the coast and known for having some of the sunniest weather in the UK. England is not known for its beaches, but in South West England you will find plenty of wonderful ones. Some examples include Whitsand Bay and Carbis Bay in Cornwall and Woolacombe in Devon. If you don't mind the slightly cooler temperatures than those in other beach destinations in Europe, you will get a real treat! Exeter in Devon has great shopping stores, as well as lots of cafés and the city's best-known pubs. Cornwall has its own treasures too — pretty villages and towns like Marazion, which make for the perfect locations to spend those relaxing summer afternoons!
