An old market town, now famous for its seaside lido, one end of the Great Western Railway that starts in London and port to The Scilly Isles.
A small quaint fishing village, where the houses cluster around a small protected harbour.
A rugged cove set in an area of outstanding scenery this is an idyllic place to experience the sea close up, equally stunning when it’s blowing a gale or flat calm. Now famous for attracting Post Impressionist artists from The Newlyn School of Art in the early twentieth century.
Local myth and legend says that this stone circle was formed when 19 maidens were turned into stone for dancing on a Sunday. A brilliant example of a Neolithic stone circle from 3000 BC.
If you’ve ever seen Poldark this tiny fishing hamlet will bring back memories of smugglers and pilchard fishing.
Created by Rowena Cade in the 1920’s this open air theatre is built into the rocky granite cliffs above Porthcurno.
Porthcurno is famous for two things. Firstly the aforementioned Minack Theatre and secondly The Telegraph Museum where transatlantic cables came ashore from all over the world.
The most South Westerly point in Britain. A great place to watch the waves crashing over the rocks below and to have your photo taken underneath the destination sign.
Originally thought to be the most western point of Great Britain until Ordnance survey maps suggested otherwise. Bought in 1987 by the Heinz family and then bequeathed to the nation it does have an iconic symbol at the top of the cape.
Ross Poldark’s mine “Wheal Leisure” is filmed here along with the mines owned by his cousin Frances and his father George Poldark. In 2006 the area was designated part of the UNESCO World Heritage site for Cornwall mining.

About Cornwall
Cornwall is the long, narrow peninsula at the south-west tip of England, with granite cliffs, sandy coves, fishing harbours and a Celtic identity.
Cornwall occupies the far south-west of England, with the sea on three sides and the River Tamar marking most of the Devon border. At Land's End the cliffs mark the most westerly point of mainland England, and the Lizard peninsula is the southernmost point of mainland Britain. St Michael's Mount, a castle on a tidal island, is reached by a causeway at low tide, and Tintagel Castle, on the north coast, is tied by legend to King Arthur.
