VegetarianVisitor Guide to South West England

Vegetarian friendly accommodation, restaurants & eating out in Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall

stonehendge - salisbury, wiltshire, dorset, somerset, devon, cornwall vegetarian restaurants and accommodation  The west country is steeped in medieval  stories of  intrigue, chivalry, and druid's magic. Beautiful picture card Cornish villages, awash with stories of pirates, caves and the Roman hot springs of Bath contrast brightly with the modern but natural ecological splendor of the Eden project .  

The estuary town of Bristol is  on a mission to shake off it's slave trading past  and steal the UK vegetarian crown from Brighton. Bristol is co-host to Brighton for the UK Vegfests.

Don't go without trying the scrumpy,  cider is for girls,  forget lager, real men drink beer or scrumpy no wonder the pirates used to hang out here.

The scrumpy may also explain why the locals forgot how and why they built Stonehenge which is now shrouded in mystery and the occassional Druid's chant. Did I mention Glastonbury?

Entries in the guidebook are grouped geographically in sections and within each section alphabetically by county, then town or village, then name.
