Inspiration Gallery - Discover our Lifestyle

---

Over the years we've won something of a reputation (and a few glittering prizes) for the quality of our publications. Here are a selection of periodicals and other Classic publications for you to peruse. We hope you enjoy them. If you'd like a paper copy, there are some still available. So, let us know and we'll dig one out and send it to you.

• Our Ten Favourite Benches

  We have scoured the South West in search of our favourite ten benches upon which to sit, lounge, ponder, chat or enjoy the view. It is a fairly esoteric collection - what else would you expect from us - but we hope that it captures the spirit of the wonderful place we are lucky enough to call home. Published September 2007

• A Dozen Great Ways to Get Wet

  One of our series helping you to find things to do in the South West, this is our journey into some of our favourite places to get wet. There are so many ways to get wet but here are just a few: walking in the rain, musselling, cockelling and crabbing, river picnicking (in, not by), rock pooling, wading or just take a hot bath for as long as you like. Published December 2009
• A Dozen Great Forays into Greenery

  From off-the-beaten-track adventures, to dedicated formal gardens, the great outdoors is what the West Country is all about. Be inspired by our ideas of things to do on grass, in a field and over a moor then venture into the undergrowth. Published March 2009.

• A Dozen Great Journeys on Foot

  What greater way to discover the West Country. A walk can epitomise the holiday idyll with a gentle amble after an al fresco buffet, or be the madcap dash to higher ground before the tide turns. And let's not forget the stagger home from the pub. We've put together a few that we particularly enjoy. Published January 2009.
• A Walk on the Wild Side of Culture

  Everything from the weird to the wonderful - wassailing and Willow men, beach buskers and the Beast of Bodmin Moor. Delve into our West Country ways with this mini almanac of cultural experiences. Published September 2011.

• To Do or Not To Do

  From surfing without waves to recipes for a tipple with which to celebrate sundown, this is the Classic Team's guide to activity and inactivity in the South West. Paint, forage, rock climb or just sit and be, there is something for everyone within its pages. Browse and be inspired. Published September 2009
• Holiday Fodder

  The first of our food series, this is the Classic Team's inside line on where to eat and shop in the South West. It covers extreme picnicking, hints on preparing and serving mackerel, sandwiches to die for, a guide to pick your own ingredients and then a guide to sleeping it all off after you have gorged yourself. And to finish off, there is the Edible Index of places to browse, buy and eat. Published September 2010

• Breather

  Exactly what a holiday is for. And we believe the West Country is one of the best places to stop and take a breather, or experience a view that will take your breath away. Published September 2008.
