Cornwall is an iconic destination, a truly inspirational paradise for walkers, surfers, people who love good food and visitors who want a holiday close to home but a little bit different. Surrounded by over 275 miles of breathtaking coastline, from the dramatic cliffs to the north on the Atlantic to the sheltered bays in the south on the English Channel, you are never far from the sea. And with the South West Coast Path encircling the county’s coastline, it’s easy to explore.

Renowned for its mild climate, tasty locally grown food, Mediterranean-style gardens, beautiful beaches, ancient moorland and soft river estuaries, Cornwall has it all. Great for active holidays, with fantastic surfing, cycling on the Camel trail, sea and river fishing, golfing, horse riding, sailing and diving. There are many wonderful attractions to visit; Lost Gardens of Heligan and Eden Project, St Michael's Mount and Land's End, Minack Theatre and Tate St Ives as well as numerous museums celebrating Cornwall’s maritime and mining heritage.

Cornwall has an individual, quirky and vibrant culture and the county’s landscape has provided the backdrop for many films and T.V. productions, including the legendary ‘Poldark’, ‘Wycliffe’, ‘Die Another Day’ (James Bond) and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn, Frenchman’s Creek and Rebecca. Not forgetting the fishing village of Port Isaac, which is the fictitious Port Wenn in ITV’s popular ‘Doc Martin‘.
