Cornwall

Cornwall offers more miles of unspoilt coastline than any other county in the South West. The coastline is punctuated by hundreds of beaches - from tiny secret coves to large expanses of golden sand.

There are many famous resorts and picturesque fishing villages, whilst inland lie ancient settlements, historic market towns and the cathedral city of Truro - Cornwall's County Town.

Cornwall has a rich vein of heritage and culture, including stone circles, iron age villages and grand historic houses. There are a multitude of great gardens, including The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Tresco Abbey and of course the world renowned Eden Project.

The vibrant art scene stems from the Newlyn and St Ives schools, and Cornwall continually attracts artists from across the world. A host of writers such as Daphne du Maurier, Rosamunde Pilcher and Sir John Betjemen have all written of the delights of this far flung corner of the South West of England.

There is a great range of accommodation across the County, from self catering breaks in lighthouses to hostels on the cliff top or luxury hotels and spas.
