Motorhome travel is a form of touring in which transport and accommodation are combined in a single vehicle, allowing travellers to move freely while carrying everything they need for the journey.

Portugal is able to reconcile everyone with everyone: inveterate athletes with fans of aimless lounging on the beach, gourmands with aficionados of very unusual architecture, active children with adults who do not want to rush anywhere. After all, in this country, almost within one village, you can indulge in all kinds of tourist entertainment at once: surfing, wandering through the parks, examining the buildings, enjoying food and drink at prices quite affordable by European standards.

FOLLOWING two months of fewer trains – and reduced speeds – services on the West of England line return to normal between Salisbury and Exeter St Davids today.

Speed restrictions of 40mph had been in place near Tisbury, Gillingham and Axminster, as the clay-based track bed shrank in the record-breaking hot and dry summer, leaving the rails uneven and too bumpy for trains to run at full speed.

Diligent work by engineers has restored track levels, helped by cooler temperatures and regular rain which has stopped the track bed shrinking, allowing the speed restrictions to be...
