Devon and Cornwall Marco Polo Pocket Travel Guide – with pull out map
Devon and Cornwall pack more into their shoreline than Padstow's cream teas and Newquay's crowded harbours — this pocket-sized travel guide condenses it all into the pubs, cafes and hidden paths that actually fit your trip.
Marco Polo is the proud map publishing partner for Race Across the World.
Tucked-away pubs on Bodmin Moor pour proper ales alongside pasties, potted crab and slow-cooked lamb, while Woods Cafe, set beside a stream on the edge of woodland, serves tea grown right here in Cornwall. Away from the obvious stops, quiet lanes and windswept headlands make a shoreline that feels remote even in peak summer.
Lightweight and easy to carry, it's built for slow drives down narrow lanes, cliff-top rambles, and long afternoons chasing the tide, with a detailed pull-out map so you can navigate with confidence wherever you roam.

- Top Beaches and Things to Do - Explore must-see sights from Woolacombe's sweeping Atlantic sands to the Lizard Peninsula's wild coastline, plus surfing, scenic walks, and unforgettable experiences across both counties
