The wild west - west country homes perfect for storm watching

Storm watching is a lucrative business in the United States and Canada, with many places proving popular destinations for holiday makers looking to partake in this exhilarating activity but there is also plenty of scope for challenging the elements back here in the UK. 

Many of Britain's coastal and moorland regions are at their most atmospheric during the winter months and it is invigorating to escape daily routine and walk on cliff tops above crashing waves, or tramp across moors and mountainsides in buffeting wind and swirling mist. 
Wales has some of the most dramatic yet beautiful coastline in the UK with many award winning beaches along the Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Gower coastlines and the Devon and Cornish coasts are also popular locations for storm watching.
If you are interested in houses or holiday homes on the west country coast where you can witness the elements from the comfort of your own living room please contact either our Cardiff, Exeter or Truro offices for more information or take a look at the properties for sale below.
