It has a rich history and culture as well as a spectacular natural environment.

It benefits from realistic property prices, with a range of properties available in towns, villages or rural properties with stunning sea views.

There are uncongested roads, stunning beaches and an environment that encourages outdoor pursuits such as hill walking, cycling, surfing and golf.
