Cornwall has some of the most wild scenery and beautiful beaches in the country. People come from all over the world to enjoy the surfing and the sailing here. The coast is dotted with coves and caves which were commonly used by smugglers and pirates up until 100 years ago.
It has inspired many artists such as Barbara Hepworth and John Miller for its strong light and unspoilt landscape. With 50 miles of heritage coast line, the coastal footpath winds a staggering 500 miles around the entire Cornish coast. Old stone chimneys still stand as relics to tin mining which dominated Cornwall for four thousand years.
Now in the 21st century; there are modern art galleries to discover, pioneering developments such as the Eden Project and exclusive places to eat such as Rick Stein’s restaurant in Padstow. With good rail links and Newquay international airport, you can be in Cornwall in a matter of hours.
