CORNWALL.
A wealth of culture, heritage and entertainment...

Explore Cornwall’s heritage from tin mines to picturesque fishing villages and ancientstone monuments. Wayside crosses and holy wells are reminders that the Cornish are true Celts. Discover tales of piracy and smuggling and explore Cornwall’s past in lonely engine houses, great manor houses and castles.
Cornwall is also famous for its artistic and cultural heritage – poets and writers in earlier times such as Dickens, Tennyson and Hardy made the pilgrimage and later Daphne du Maurier, Sir John Betjeman, Winston Graham and Rosamunde Pilcher. Artists such as Barbara Hepworth and Bernard Leach found inspiration here too. A wealth of music and dance can be found at events and festivals throughout the year as well as in pubs and parks, on quaysides and cliff tops. Visit the Tate Gallery at St. Ives and the famous open air Minack Theatre at Porthcurno.
Cornwall’s climate makes it the home of fabulous sub-tropical gardens and a visit to one of them is a must: Trebah, Glendurgan or Tresco Abbey on the Isles of Scilly. The famous Lost Gardens at Heligan and the now internationally renowned Eden project. Enjoy a break in the Spring to see Cornish gardens at their very best as well as enjoying the mild weather that brings out the fabulous daffodils in nearly every roadside verge and hedge.
