Holidaying down your way next month? Ideas please!

Planning on heading south for 10 days in July (before kids break up) for a break in a VW camper. No idea on the place though as I usually go to the Lakes or Scotland! Heard the weather might be a bit more reliable down your way, and its a place worth visiting! Dorset/Cornwall/Devon are areas i'm interested in. I briefly visited Somerset a couple of years ago and squeezed in a visit to Cheddar & Glastonbury so thats about the extent of it. I like my outdoor adventures (Cycling, walking, kayak & canoeing), but I'm with Wife and 6 month old daughter this time around, so I might be a bit restricted in fairness as to what can be undertaken. Late night parties are out of the question now too.....

If you could give some local knowledge on where to visit it would be highly appreciated and if anyone wants any ooop north advice, I'll gladly oblige!

Great, just what I'm looking for. I guess it can be a bit odd thinking about where you live as a holiday destination, but someone has got to be lucky enough to live there!

Thanks to all for the advice, I'm getting a vibe that you get nowhere fast down in Cornwall/Devon and thus shouldnt try and get too far in a day.

If I was to limit my trip to 3 places to set up camp, where would be the preferred options? I'm looking at about 9 nights (to avoid travelling on a Saturday out of the area). I was considering St Ives, St Austell and probably one other location. If there's better than that though, i'm all ears.

I would and should have planned this earlier but the trip has been a bit of a last minute decision to head south. Hopefully there'll be spaces available. 9-18 July are the planned dates.
