Cornwall
Renowned for its glorious countryside, striking coastline and unique attractions, you’ll find an abundance of places to visit in Cornwall that leave lasting memories. From catching a performance at the open-air clifftop Minack Theatre to surfing the waves at Newquay’s Fistral Beach or delving into the Arthurian legend at Tintagel, Cornwall has something for everyone.
​
Wander the South West Coast Path to discover picturesque coves, golden beaches and quaint harbours, explore the world’s largest greenhouse at the Eden Project, venture to the tidal island of Saint Michael’s Mount at low tide or tuck into a delectable Cornish pasty. Take in the subtropical paradise of Trebah Garden or go back in time at Henry VIII’s coastal fort, Pendennis Castle.
Tintagel Castle
Although much of Tintagel is themed around the legend of King Arthur, there are other things to do.
Visit the old Post Office, walk the South West Coast Path or visit the ancient church of St Materiana’s, perched high on the cliff overlooking Tintagel Castle, where King Arthur is supposed to have lived.
Fal River
This river runs through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and gives you lots of options to explore it on ferries or boat trips.
This tidal river runs from Truro to Falmouth, so you will see the beautiful waters of the Carrick Roads and have the stunning backdrop of St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula to enjoy.
Cornish Roots 'Cousin Jacks' Tour
On the far south western tip of Britain, bathed in the mild waters of the Gulf Stream, mineral-rich Cornwall has drawn visitors for Millennia: the Romans came to trade for tin two thousand years ago; marauding Vikings plundered the coasts and from the 1800’s generations of miners emigrated taking their culture and expertise with them. They were known as ‘Cousin Jacks’.
