Why Cornwall?
Discover a true gem
Tucked away in the very south west of the country, Cornwall is a
truly unique corner of the UK. Arguably best known for
picturesque beaches, coastlines and Cornish pasties, the county
has so much more to offer visitors.
Take advantage of the often stunning weather by surfing off
Atlantic coves, ambling across granite moors or striding out on
the South West Coast Path across Cornwall’s sandy beaches and
wild flower-strewn clifftops. Got green fingers? Potter around
lush gardens that can be found at Cornwall’s National Trust
sites and in the modern biomes of the Eden Project alike.
Explore super-quaint harbour towns, like Padstow and St Ives,
where many a celebrity chef has taken up residence, and tuck
into an endless list of Cornish delicacies – crumbly Yarg
cheese, meat-stuffed pasties and Cornish cream teas with clotted
cream – on England's southwest toe.

Favourite Places to Visit
Padstow
Made famous by Rick Stein over the last 30 years or so, there’s much more to Padstow than just great places to eat. It’s still a working harbour, it’s surrounded by glorious beaches, and offers a base to explore the Camel estuary.
Port Isaac
Port Isaac is a traditional fishing village in North Cornwall that is home to the TV series Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes and the Fisherman’s Friends shanty singers.
Boscastle
The picturesque harbour of Boscastle is one of Cornwall’s most romantic places. The long narrow valley runs down to a twisting rocky entrance hiding the raging sea beyond.
