Take your time to adjust to the holiday clock. Don’t rush it. Plan yourself a route of epic proportions and travel the coast roads to really explore. Head north before you hit Devon and take the long trip up over Exmoor – the journey between Porlock and Lynmouth along the Doone Valley is really quite special. Have a sojourn into south Somerset and fall off the A358 between Axminster and Ilminster to stretch your legs in Forde Abbey Gardens.
Making your way to the South and West can involve a hard and fast route along the M4/M5 or a more pleasant meander along the A303. The latter provides stop-offs of tea-rooms and pub grub to make your first day about more than playing the number plate game. Don’t rush. Take a travelling time out by unpacking an unplanned picnic down a scenic ‘road to nowhere’. Drive to a castle on the horizon (there’s a lovely one in the Frome Valley) and sit among the battlements to eat your cherries bought from a layby seller. If you’re feeling brave take the B-road from Exeter right through the centre of Dartmoor and out the other side. Try taking the old Atlantic Highway diversion off the A30 at Newquay and tour the North Coast with a pasty stop at Portreath en route. You’ll have clifftop views as you drive past Gwithian and Hell’s Mouth before entering a whole new world of Cornish wonder across Pendeen. Go along the coast road between St Ives and Zennor, but make sure it’s via The Gurnard’s Head pub.

Island hopping Not just an occupation of backpackers in the Far East, island hopping can be a beautifully British pastime. In this case, it’s all about the transport, as recommended by our staff. Isle of Wight and Hampshire We’ll start with an obvious one. We’re happy to book the ferry for you but we’ll just point out that the island does have the only passenger hovercraft in Western Europe. So jazz up your journey with an adventure crossing. Cornwall St Michael’s Mount Duck, an amphibious mode of transport that only appears in the winter so you’ll have to hunker down in the beachside Godolphin Arms until it comes out of hibernation. Devon Take an historical trip on the MS Oldenburg, a restored, mid-century vessel that cruises past pods of dolphins to the wildlife paradise of Lundy Island. If you don’t have the time or money for Galapagos, go here. Somerset Whilst there are plenty of watercraft that make use of the Severn Estuary, you can’t actually land on Stert Island without permission (it’s part of the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest), so you’re best off saving yourself for the Stert Island swim; don your wetsuit at Burnham-on-Sea in August and take on this Millenium Project challenge. Dorset Seek out indigenous red squirrels on Brownsea Island by pootling across Poole harbour on a yellow boat. The yellow boats range in size and include the ‘Maid of the Islands’ – a picnic boat!

Holiday hacks search classic.co.uk/hacks

Hack (verb): a little trick or skill, shortcut or novelty method that makes holiday prep just a little bit easier. Packing hacks + Fold your underwear nice and tiny before stuffing it in the ends of your shoes. Remove before wearing either. + Use a pencil case or sunglasses case to store cables and little bits that’ll get lost if you chuck them in your handbag or manbag. + A Tupperware cereal dispenser makes a great in-car bin with a secure lid. + Use a sock to fold a T-shirt. Yes, really. Fold the arms of the T-shirt to overlap into the middle, creating a long rectangle. Lay a sock toe side in, where the arms should be. Roll from the neck down to create a T-shirt/sock ‘cracker’. Fold the socks inside-out, encapsulating the T-shirt inside. Genius!
Before-you-leave hacks + Set lamps on timer plugs around your home to stop it looking so empty. + Check your pet is microchipped with your mobile number and that the collar has your current contact info too. + The more there is, the less you have to take – check our extensive Minimum Inventory on page 52 to see how much you can leave behind. + Plan your route according to our Timeless Traveller mantra and lie to yourself and the kids when they ask how much further. + Travelling with kids? Download or print our ‘Are We There Yet’ car journey sheets. The adults might like them too.
Beach hacks + Avoid wetsuit woes by putting plastic bags on your feet. No we’re not just trying to make you look silly, your feet will glide through like wet seals. + Recycle plastic tubs – the ice cream variety works well as you are forced to eat lots of ice cream beforehand, but save anything you can from landfill for an afternoon of marine exploration. Cut the bottom out, stretch cling film and hold in place with an elastic band. Flip it over and hold it in the water to make an awesome rockpool viewer. + Take a Tubtrug. They sit well in the boot of the car, ready for carting stuff down to the sea, make great changing rooms to stand in and avoid the sand, then hold all the wet stuff safely on the way home.
So-you-won’t-go-hungry hacks +C ook a big tray of dinner and freeze it. It’ll defrost nicely on the journey down, ready for an easy feast on the first night. + Stick sticks through the lids of yoghurt pots and freeze. The simple ideas are the best. + Surprise everyone on a mid-journey layby stop with personalised picnics-in-jars - one screw-topped jar per person stuffed with their fave munchy bits will enthral the grumpiest of travellers. + Mini boxes of cereal can have their sides snipped to make a makeshift bowl before adding a drop of milk to the bag. Fun and practical.

Friendly feasts search classic.co.uk/feasts

Food. It fills the belly and feeds the soul. Break bread with friends or enemies because a feast will bring people together. Whether you’re sharing sweets while travelling or reminiscing around the dinner table, the act of sharing brings us closer. And holidays give you time to slow down and enjoy this togetherness. Take your time to lovingly put together dishes and make a fuss about your food. Serve it up to your favourite people. Keep it simple. Keep it tasty. Bask in the nervous excitement of trying something new cooked by your closest friends.
This is what life is about. Good food and good friends.
Cooking doesn’t have to be a complicated affair. Track down your local fisherman early in the morning and ask him for some seafood to take home for your dinner. Introduce the kids to farm life with an afternoon of ‘pick your own’. Freshly picked peas with local fish and new potatoes smothered in butter are always a winning combination. Follow it up with fresh strawberries and Cornish clotted cream. Classic. Take a long lunch in the summer with finger foods made with local produce. Bread that has been lovingly kneaded and moulded, watched over as it rose, then baked until golden. Meats that were reared and raised in fields of green under sunny skies. Add into the mix a local chutney and a few cheese options and you’re ready. Graze over your feast for hours as you chat over a glass of full bodied red wine. Preferably outside.

Work out how big a pig you’d like to be. By all means eat what you like, but if you fill those lungs with air, those legs with miles and that heart with fun, the food will taste triply good and you’ll boost your calorie quota.
Finding food for the barbecue We recommend a forage through the wilds of the South and West to truly appreciate the local delicacies on offer: samphire, mussels, flowers, tree-pickings… Gorse is a great one to add a little summer to your plate as the flowers are fragrant with coconut tones. Pick a few wild garlic leaves for a fresher-than-a-store-bought-bulb flavour ( just a few mind, no uprooting entire plants). Get your own back on the seaweed tangling round your toes by cooking it up as an accompaniment to your seashore meal. Chat to the local fisherman landing his catch. He’ll have edible offerings from king-size crustaceans to rainbow-glittered mackerel, and all the knowledge to help you sacrifice them respectfully on the barbecue. If you ask nicely, he might even fillet the fish for you. Pair them with a vert jus made from your found green ingredients and away you go. Freshly caught crab only needs a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of sea salt but if there are any fishy leftovers, mash them up with spuds and nettles to make pescatarian ‘sausages’. They work well on the barbie but may benefit from a tin foil wrap. To end a summer’s eve, bake any kind of chocolate bar in a banana skin and tuck in. Heaven.

Find a few out-and-about eats to tuck into away from the holiday cottage. From hidden coffee vans to DIY delis and food-based field trips, source your own self-catering goodies.
Cornwall Moment: finding a food van Our find: the Thirstea Co. Where: just off the SWCP at Towan beach, Roseland Why: meet Earl, a lean, mean, tea-making machine. Locally sourced ingredients are brewed to Cornish perfection from the back of a Citroen HY van. www.thethirsteacompany.co.uk
Somerset Moment: eating actual cheddar Our find: The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company Where: the foot of the Gorge in The Cliffs Why: because you haven’t actually eaten cheddar ‘til you’ve been to Cheddar and found the last surviving cheddar cheese producer. Come and find out what it’s meant to taste like. www.cheddaronline.co.uk
Isle of Wight Moment: discovering a gallybagger Our find: No 8 Where: the heart of Bembridge Why: for the hidden cafe above a well-stocked farm shop filled with so many things grown on the island. And then they make them into gallybaggers and such-like. www.facebook.com/ TheFarmShop
Dorset Moment: finding free food Our find: Hedgerow Harvest Where: foraging along the inimitable Jurassic coastline Why: enjoy the spectacular views with a purpose – collecting your own dinner. There’ll be many a moment finding edible morsels, culminating in a family feast around the cottage dining-table. www.hedgerow-harvest.com
Devon Moment: the cosy cocoa Our find: Coast Cafe Bar Where: the seafront at Seaton Why: for the free blankets provided on the terrace so you can enjoy an al fresco eating experience whatever the weather. Sea views, hot chocolate and a snuggle.
Hampshire Moment: finding a food trail Our find: New Forest food trails Where: various sun-dappled dells and hidden hamlets Why: utterly embrace eating out by eating in lots of places one after the other. It’s a good way to find your way around, too, with woodland trails, sea air trails, north or south trails. Trail away to your heart’s (and belly’s) content. www.thenewforest.co.uk

23 crabs in 15 minutes search classic.co.uk/crabbing

On our last family expedition to West Bay it was one of those gloriously frustrating jumper on/jumper off days. The sun and the clouds were in fierce competition - as were my entire family ranging in age from 4 to 64. We swooped in and took over a vast expanse of sea wall with multiple seawater buckets, miles of tangled string, and a stinking bag of bacon, dried whitebait and squid. What followed included fierce arguments over who caught which crab and whether dropped crabs count as a catch. (They don’t. And if they miss the bucket they don’t count... unless you are under 10 and then the rules are more flexible.) Between us we caught 23 crabs, a handful of shrimps and one terrified whitebait. We were battered by wind and rain, one of us got sunburn, we had to chase a fast-moving escapee down the harbour wall, someone lost a sandwich to a screeching gull, I think we accidentally killed (definitely stunned) the terrified whitebait and grandad got caught in the flightpath of a squitty seagull. One of those moments that will stay in memories and dinner table stories for longer than you’d imagine. By Classic Writer Emma Luckraft Mother to an avid crabber and stunner of whitebait.

5 top crabbing spots Isle of Wight Freshwater Bay Venture sandy toes into the ‘Cabbage Patch’ to find plenty of nibbling prawns – low tide brings out the rockpools otherwise it’s fishing off the sea wall with a bit of home-made bait. Somerset Minehead Mill around the old harbour and you’ll see many a crab dangling from a tasty morsel, peered upon by a child’s face full of glee. Hang off the harbour wall or stroll along the pier. When the crabs stop biting, take the steam train to find some hungry crustaceans over at Watchet Marina.
Devon Brixham For the canny crabber – there’s kudos in catching these intelligent crabs as they hook the bait, feast in a frenzy, rip a hole in the net and make a break for freedom before ever making it to the plastic bucket prison. Good luck. Dorset West Bay Catch some happy crabs! They live a never-lift-a-finger, hand-fed luxury lifestyle, being treated to titbits from the eateries on the Quay. And the views are quite nice from along the pier too.
Cornwall St Anthony-in-Roseland Straw hats at the ready, this is a Tom-Sawyer-meets-Eden experience on the banks of the Percuil River. It won’t matter how many crabs you catch when you feel like you’re in the pages of an idyllic childhood book. Sit on the jetty with your badly-fashioned stick rod and enjoy.

How to have fun in a forest search classic.co.uk/forest
36
Any time of year is great for resurrecting some of the simple pleasures of yesteryear. Forests become wonderlands of fun, discovery and adventure. Here’s a round-up of some simple forest fun ideas to try. Tracking Divide into two teams and send one group off to be tracked by the rest. Tracking is basically hide and seek in the open air, the big difference being that the hiders lay a trail – sticks, stones, or arrows made of leaves. When the hiders have hidden they leave a basic house shape as a clue. The trackers then have to find the hiders, before both groups can swap roles and the game begins again. Den building Making a passable den is surprisingly hard, but that’s part of the joy of it. It’s easier when there is a whole team of people gathering wood and leaves. The best system we’ve found is to lean sticks against either side of a low hanging tree branch. When you’ve got a basic tent shape cover the structure with leaves or bracken. Then the inside and outside spaces can be decorated with pebbles and large stones, small sticks or other available items.
Fruit picking I go blackberry picking with my children two or three times a year from late August through to September. For nearly two months these little treasures grow abundantly at reachable height, just asking to be picked. I love the anticipation of arming my children with various empty tubs and setting off to forage, the slight challenge of negotiating prickles and reaching up high for the best fruits. I even love the stained fingers and sticky chins. Tree climbing My children have always been keen tree climbers, as I was before them. I’m not ashamed to admit that I still am on occasions. On familiar walks my children always look forward to getting to particular trees which they know they can climb, and on unfamiliar walks they are constantly scanning for good tree-climbing trees. Look for low-lying branches that don’t wobble. Pooh sticks It’s amazing how satisfying the simple game of Pooh sticks is. Players only need a bridge over a stream and a stick each to play. Simply throw all the sticks at the same time, then run to the other side of the bridge to see whose stick can be seen first. The game is first mentioned in The House at Pooh Corner when Winnie-thePooh plays it with Christopher Robin, Eeyore and Tigger. Top tip: The best strategy is to throw it in the middle where the current is strongest. By Classic Writer Philip Eley Father of three little adventurers and keen Pooh stick player.

Take time out in a forest. A little-known phrase called Shinrin-Yoku could pep up that simple stroll through some unknown woodland. Try forest bathing.

Leave all modern distractions behind. Just take yourself. And maybe one other person.
Forget your thoughts and just wander. Whilst wondering. Go with the flow.
Take a moment. Look at a leaf. OK that’s a little weird but at least appreciate what’s around you.
Taking in the forest atmosphere is a proven preventative healthcare practice in Japan. And they’re pretty healthy. So we say forget the pretention and have a go at being at one with nature. You could live a little longer for it. 38

Sit. A chance to meditate on your surroundings. Or just be still for as long as you can.
Don’t talk to anyone. This is probably best done in a secluded part of the forest or you’ll just appear rude.

Don’t ignore those puppy dog eyes. Indulge your dog in the cottage kitchen.
Different doggy holidays Cornwall On the water, anywhere Cornwall attracts the water babies, and dogs are no different. Consider paddle boarding with one well-behaved, well-balanced dog.
A trip to the local farm shop isn’t just for two legs. There’s many a munchable item on offer for fourlegged friends, too. To truly treat your best (furry) friend, select a local juicy cut of the bovine variety and everyone can enjoy a steak dinner. There are lots of animal lovers in the South and West. So much so that you’ll find there’s whole businesses dedicated to providing sustenance for your dog. Keep an eye out for baggies filled with handmade biscuits of locally sourced ingredients. Dog menus Seek out menus that don’t just cater for human mouths. These places offer morsels of the canine variety: Victoria Inn, Salcombe - doggy beer & pigs’ ears Cove Cafe, Hope Cove - rawhide bones Naughty but Ice, Porthleven - ice cream for dogs!
Keep doggies safe with these little reminders: + Coasts and moors make for lovely long walkies, just be sure to check for uninvited hangers-on (like ticks) when you get home. + Lakes and rivers are perfect wild swimming spots, so get splashing but be wary of water-borne diseases by choosing fresh or running water. + Long grass is the best for bounding through, but summer fields and forests are also home to snakes. Carry a dog with a dark, painful adder bite straight to the vets. + A coastal path run is good for the owner as well as the dog, but steer clear of crumbling clifftops and be wary of mine shafts. You’d think they’d be obvious but often they’re not. + Make a note of nearby vets from the cottage information folder to give you peace of mind.

Hampshire Milford-on-Sea Walk from Hurst Spit to the Castle to earn yourself a cream tea while looking out over the water to the Isle of Wight.

Once your eyes adjust to the dark, you’ll discover an entire galaxy above your head. Lie back and watch the Milky Way slowly passing by, the deep red glow of Mars and approaching meteors burning up in the atmosphere. Get closer to nature and feel like an insignificant speck, basking in the backdrop of the universe. Marvel at the galactic core between March and October and make sure you’re in a spot with no light pollution. Have a holiday between August and October – around the time of the new moon’s rising is the best time to see the centre of our galaxy without an eyeglass. Let little eyes gaze up in wonder over the steam of a mug of hot chocolate to the twinkling constellations. Discover your own secret location in the South and West for stargazing; position yourself on the coast looking out to sea or a deep rural spot with a marshmallow-toasting campfire. If you’re not sure where to start, there are designated Dark Sky Discovery sites across the South and West: Cornwall: St Agnes Head, Carnewas, Bedruthan Steps and Bodmin Moor. Devon: Knapp Copse Local Nature Reserve and Trinity Hill Local Nature Reserve. Somerset: Exmoor Dark Sky Reserve and Wimbleball Lake. Dorset: Durlston Country Park on the Isle of Purbeck. Isle of Wight: Fort Victoria Country Park.
