Cornwall

Our backyard often seems unremarkable for its proximity, but the grass is rarely greener than in pleasant England. Here, Tudor mansions and Roman ruins are found within reach of pagan standing stones and manicured Victorian gardens.
And this wealth of history is set against a verdant landscape ranging from misty fens and white-chalk cliffs to shady oak forests and wildflower meadows. A network of ancient bridleways and footpaths criss-cross the country, trodden smooth by the soles of our forebears and lending access to England’s every corner.
Few nations are so hard to sum up with any hope of brevity. With a turbulent history spanning several thousand years, a natural landscape dramatic in its variety and a culture that has had a profound global impact, England is a little country with a lot to say.
But this means that opportunities for exploration and discovery abound. Stately homes, classical artwork and windswept moors steal the limelight, but spare some time for the more eccentric treasures. Listen to tales of smugglers, forage for dinner in the woodlands and go wild swimming in crystal clear waters.
A great holiday in England has all the hallmarks of a great holiday anywhere in the world. It should excite, educate and surprise. It should send you home evangelical in the belief that your own backyard is worth exploring. And this is what every Steppes holiday in England aims to do.
It’s too easy to simply say that this is our home and we know it like the back of our hand. That may be true, but we believe it is our years of planning holidays across the world that endow us with the skills to craft a holiday in England that will have the same impact as that once-in-a-lifetime African safari.
