South West England, Administrative region in South West England, United Kingdom.
The largest English region covers 23,829 square kilometers, stretching from Gloucestershire to Cornwall, with Bristol serving as its capital city.
The territory encompasses most of the ancient kingdom of Wessex and the Celtic kingdom of Dumnonia, which flourished during the Early Middle Ages.
Each county maintains distinct traditions, from Somerset cider production to Cornish pasties, while hosting major events like the Glastonbury Festival.
The region contains two national parks, Dartmoor and Exmoor, plus four UNESCO World Heritage sites including the Jurassic Coast and Stonehenge.
The northern edge of Gloucestershire lies as far from Land's End in Cornwall as it does from the Scottish border.
