Cornwall is one of the UK’s most popular tourist destinations. And with good reason. The spectacular coastal scenery is to die for. But delve a little deeper into this charming corner of the UK and you’ll soon see that it’s more than sun, sea and sand that makes Cornwall special.
Cornwall is packed with vibrant towns and idyllic villages. They’re a joy to explore. Visit Rock, near Padstow, for breathtaking harbour views and high-quality cafés. The village is a firm favourite of the rich and famous, so keep your eyes peeled for familiar faces. Meanwhile, Bude and the surrounding areas are home to expansive beaches and more great scenery. You can even spend a lazy afternoon gently paddling along the canal by hiring a canoe or kayak. Or head for St Austell and put those taste buds to the test on a tour of St Austell Brewery. These family brewers are renowned across the westcountry for their tasty ales. And they’ve got the awards to prove it.
After sampling the local ale, you might want to treat yourself to another local delicacy: the Cornish pasty. Handmade to recipes that go back generations and served piping hot, an authentic Cornish pasty is a true culinary treat. You simply can’t beat it. Cornwall is also home to some incredible restaurants, including Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in Watergate Bay and Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow. Delicious.
For fans of the great outdoors a trip to Bodmin Moor is a must. This unspoilt wilderness allows you to snake along winding lanes to discover hidden hamlets, wooded waterfalls and craggy tors. It’s a walker’s paradise. And then, of course, there’s the Eden Project, dubbed by many as the eighth wonder of the world. The world-famous biomes are home to all kinds of beautiful and bizarre botanical species. A must see.
Cornwall also has the highest density of prehistoric sites in the whole country. From the Hurlers Stone Circles near St Cleer to the amazing Bronze Age chambered tomb at Tregiffian Burial Chamber, Cornwall is full of incredible ancient relics. There’s nowhere better to let out your inner-adventurer and explore some of the fascinating mysteries of history.
