Outstanding Beauty

It is a county of unrivalled beauty boasting the longest single stretch of coastline in Britain. No inland area is more than 20 miles from the sea and each coast has a lure of its own. For drama and intrigue visit the north coast, where wild Atlantic waves crash onto sheer cliffs and abandoned mines teeter just metres above the short. In contrast, the south Cornish coast is a tranquil land, home to deep estuaries and hidden coves, where waves gently lap onto the shore.

Endless Things to Do

Step aware from the beach to discover a buzzing creative scene including the Tate St. Ives and Barbara Hepworth Garden and Gallery both in pretty St. Ives. Be entertained with a performance at the incredibly stunning Minack Theatre, set high on the Cornish cliff tops and lose yourself in myth and legend with a visit to St. Michael’s Mount. Head to the iconic Eden Project or famous Lost Gardens of Heligan. Wander the ancient ruins of Tintagel Castle, explore the rugged Bodmin Moor or entertain the kids at Flambards where you can experience Britain in the Blitz as well as pulse-racing rollercaosters.
