As an area to live and work the South West has much to offer. An exciting period of regeneration has been taking place in Bristol. There is the regency town of Cheltenham and the City of Bath is a World Heritage site. Devon and Cornwall are within an hour or twos drive and the Welsh coast and mountains are similarly easily reached for those with a passion for the outdoors.
