About Visiting Cornwall
Beaches
Golden sand and secret coves are washed clean by the
Atlantic at every tide and offer the visitor limitless choice.
Lively resorts such as Perranporth and Millendreath
are just a few hundred yards from family beaches such as
Kennack Sands and Whitsand Bay where children can catch crabs in
sun-warmed rock pools.
Magnificent surfing beaches nestle close to hidden coves whose
locations are revealed in whispered tones by those in the know
Surfing
The North Cornwall Coast is at the heart of the UK surfing scene
It benefits from the consistent swells of the Atlantic Ocean.
There are many stunning surfing beaches to choose
Polzeath and Fistral Sandy Mouth Bay Sennen
Newquay is the Surf capital of the UK with
Fistral Beach being the venue for a number of world championships.
Surfing conditions are closely monitored.

The Countryside
Fields are unchanged from medieval times.
Lush river valleys give way to wild heathland on area's like Bodmin More
And old tin mines point skywards from beds of heather and gorse.

Spring comes early in Cornwall so a walk in April
rewards the walker with splendid colour from early spring flowers in gardens
and wild flowers in early bloom compared with the rest of England which is maybe
why the Eden Project was located in Cornwall one of the most important projects
funded by the Lottery Commission to celebrate the year 2000
The Eden Project
Autumn and Winter Because Cornwall lies on the Southern west tip of England
the temperatures are closer to those of Nice or Naples so it's an
ideal area for an Autumn or Winter break
Villages have curious and ancient names and many are named after Saints
Come To Good, Ting Tang, Polperro and Indian Queens
St Austell , St Ives are just a few
Parish churches are quiet and you can feel the silence
There are still holy wells at many of the older churches
Cornwall history goes back to celtic times and
Celtic stone circles and dolmens still exist from earlier times
Cornish Heritage
Men-An-Tol. Since the bronze age,
Cornish folk have crawled through its circular holed stone,
seeking a cure for rickets or infertility.
Wayside crosses and holy wells are reminders that the Cornish are true Celts.
They built many cliff forts to repel marauders.
Try to visit some of the quiet churches, ancient graveyards and distinctive crosses.
Also visit Norman castle, the great manors such as Lanhydrock and Trelowarren,
and the island fortress of St Michael's Mount.
