Over the years,
the population of the West Country is rising. That's because more and
more people are coming to recognise the advantages of the lifestyle
it has to offer.
Its countryside
is some of the most stunning in the UK, varying from the soft rolling
farmlands of Somerset to the misty wilderness of Dartmoor. And its coast
has been the haunt of holidaymakers for generations - attracted as they
are by golden beaches, towering cliffs, winding estuaries and hidden harbours.
The recreational
opportunities are enormous - from bird-watching and walking to water-ski-ing
and hang-gliding. And few places are far from a welcoming country pub
or a summer village cricket match.
But it's not all
rural idyll. The region also boasts three major university cities -
Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth - with their theatres, cinemas, restaurants,
museums, galleries, shopping centres, and links to the national motorway
system. And thriving towns like Taunton provide a wealth of services
for their surrounding areas.
In the last few
years, the landscape and the lifestyle have attracted major new tourist
developments like the Eden Project and the National Maritime Museum
- as well as major re-locations such as the Meteorological Office's
move to its new Exeter headquarters.
It is in this context
that Gadd are building imaginative, high quality homes in handpicked
locations - so whatever your reasons for moving, you'll be able to enjoy
the West Country lifestyle in complete comfort and security.
