Top Ten Best Towns!! (finally lol) South West!!

Computer seriously playing up, if I use a new post for each area it'll take me all night oh well onwards and upwards.
There appears to be no individual Top Tens for Devon, Cornwall etc so this is the list for the South West!!

Lyme Regis
Exceptional seaside town and tourist resort on the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site. Try also Sidmouth to the west of Bridport/West Bay to the east.
St John the Baptist Church, Cirencester
'Capital of the Cotswolds' and once Roman Britain's second city 'Corinium'. Home to the 'Cathedral of the Cotswolds' and a superb museum. The remains of an amphitheatre, too.
Marlborough, Wiltshire
Beautiful Wiltshire market town in an exceptional location. Close by are the UNESCO World Heritage Site(s) of Stonehenge and Avebury. Then there's Silbury Hill, Pewsey Vale, several AONBs ...
St. Ives, Cornwall
Famous Cornish seaside town. Spectacular setting and exceptional light. The beaches around St Ives Bay are top class. South of the town are Lands End, Sennen, Porthcurno. You must visit.
The Saxon Church Of St Laurence, Bradford On Avon
Famous for its Saxon church, this is a good base to explore both the south of the Cotswolds AONB and Bath. It's a beautiful town with a fascinating history.
Sidmouth, Devon
Hunched between mighty red cliffs, Sidmouth is a must if you're heading to east Devon or west Dorset. Try Ladram Bay, too, a little further to the west.
Swanage, Dorset
A very popular destination at the end of the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site. Big sand beach, buzzing town, pier, boats and loads of attractions inland.
Dartmouth, Devon
One of the South West's finest. Easy access north to the English Riviera and south to the South Devon AONB with Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Plymouth.
Padstow, Cornwall
On the south bank of the Camel Estuary and across the water from Rock. Stunning location and geared towards those looking to eat, drink and then walk them off.
Salcombe, Devon
The Salcombe Kingsbridge Estuary is awesome. Salcombe is a very beautiful and busy town on that Estuary. Perfect for the South Devon AONB.
