The South West offers visitors fantastic opportunities to actively enjoy the region. All ages can experience the South West, whether on land or in the sea in a way that gets their hearts pumping and brings smiles to their faces.
Why Active and Sporting? Well we quite like getting wet ourselves-surfing in the South West has been a passion for years but we have had so many great opportunities to video watersports of all sorts (like the ones above) in the South West that we felt it was something that represented our business and that we are committed to. The above surfing video, filmed at Fistral in Newquay, Cornwall features an aerial video which is a regular part of our video productions for businesses in Cornwall, Plymouth and Devon.

The Cornwall, Dorset, Devon, new Bristol, Bath & Somerset, and South West awards are all independent, but linked in that winners from the county awards are fast-tracked into the South West awards, with most South West winners submitted to the national VisitEngland awards. Entry is free, the programmes are funded by a range of sponsors and partners, and all entrants receive feedback.
