About the Region
Enjoying one of Britain’s mildest climates, Cornwall lies further south and west than anywhere else in the UK. This county benefiting from the warming effects of the Gulf Stream, with early springs and long lingering summers.
This unspoilt County is an ancient and mystic Celtic Kingdom, a land of legend and romance. The river Tamar has been the official border between Cornwall and Devon since Saxon times and the area around the Tamar Valley is recognised as a World Heritage Site. Bovisand, a few miles south of Plymouth, is an ideal location for cultural, seaside and rural activities. Saltash, near the Cotehele Estate with its’ beautiful Medieval house set in extensive grounds and with a superb collections of textiles, armour and furniture lies just over the border into Cornwall. Off the beaten track one can discover the village of Bere Alston and nearby Bere Ferrers, a hidden gem and well kept secret.
Cargreen is a pretty Cornish village perched on the banks of the beautiful and mainly undiscovered Tamar Estuary, of equal beauty to the more famous Helford and Fal estuaries further west and an important habitat for wildlife. Heritage Coast offers dramatic scenery where one can explore around villages such as Morwenstow and Welcombe the delightful seaside town of Bude. From here discover the secrets of Camelot, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, by climbing the steps to Tintagel Castle. Visit the extraordinarily pretty little fishing villages dotted along the coast, with ancient inns, many with piratical influence or stroll through the famous Lost Gardens of Heligan or visit the Eden Project has become a world famous venue. Penryn is a convenient centre from which to visit much of west and mid-Cornwall and is largely overlooked by the tourist industry, unlike many other towns and villages in the area with the beautiful Helford river nearby. Cornwall is a land of extremes from the wild and rugged Bodmin Moor, where the mysterious "Beast of Bodmin" is said to roam, to old-fashioned small towns and villages where people have lived for centuries. The stunning coastline with vast areas of fabulous sandy beaches, tiny hidden coves and picture postcard villages is a holiday makers dream. A visit to Land's End and Mullion with its pretty working harbour and sandy cove on the Lizard peninsula or St Michael's Mount is a great day out, along with the surfing beaches of Newquay where world surfing championships are held. The seas around Cornwall are amongst the cleanest in Europe and fish served up in the evening may well have been caught just a few hours beforehand. Artists come to Cornwall for nourishment drawn by its rugged beauty, the quality of light and a pace of life in which passions can run free, they find inspiration that reaches deep into their souls.
