Cornwall Travel Guide
There’s something about the prospect of teetering on Land’s End cliff tops that’s inexplicably alluring. Though, whether you’ll get there is another matter. It’s not that it’s too far – it’s simply that holidays in Cornwall are so distracting. If you’re not watching surfers ride the seemingly impossible waves, you’re trekking the lengthy coastal path, meandering along farm tracks or buying something crafty and local in a village so picturesque it almost hurts. Of course, all this is immaterial if you’ve happened upon Bodmin Moor. You’ll not be lost in the wilds – but you could well just be too smitten to even consider going anywhere else.
All these outdoor activities will warrant somewhere you’ll get a good night’s sleep. And, frankly, your choices in Cornwall are joyfully quaint, quirky and eclectic. Cast aside any thoughts of a generic hotel stay. Here? You’re looking at pods, tipis, yurts, treehouses, log cabins and just about anything that doesn’t remotely resemble traditional hospitality. Holidays in Cornwall are for far more exploring. Getting back to nature? There’s an element of that, if you want it. But for everyone – however you spend your time. It’s about pure indulgence. Be it pasties or picking the best spot to watch the world go by. Just enjoy every second.

Weather in Cornwall
Seasoned holidaymakers will tell you that the best time to visit Cornwall is the summer. Those in the know? They’ll tell you spring is the one. Tourists are waiting for the sun – but in reality, it’s already peeping through the clouds. Autumn walks in the woods are tough to beat. But Christmas by the sea? Wonderful.
Discover the real Cornwall
The real Cornwall might have changed a bit through the ages, but the joy is finding the remnants of decades gone by to explore and enjoy. Fishing villages still see boats chug out in the early hours and the moors and forests surprise hikers with mining architecture dotted across the landscape.
This is a county that takes their food seriously. They’ve legally protected their pasties and you really shouldn’t get into a row over how you serve a scone with clotted cream and jam. Technicalities aside, there’s much to get excited about. Organic, local produce, freshly caught fish and a celebrity chef or two setting up coastal must eats.
Let’s face it. All eyes inevitably turn to Cornwall’s coastline when activities are mentioned. Water sports and coastal path hikes are the gateway to exploring the beauty of this counties shores. Inland? Moors and woodland are your playgrounds. Pursuits aren’t always rustic and country-based, but it’s a shame not to take advantage of the wilds on your doorstep.
Few counties can muster as many activity options as Cornwall. Their beach count is staggering, their surf spots are usually well-guarded secrets and the top-notch places to see are surprisingly well-hidden. We won’t spoil the best part of Cornwall – exploring. But we will tip you off to more than a few of its best bits.
