Guide to Museums and Galleries - PDF format (4MB)Inspirational! is the word for West Cornwall where the breathtaking beauty of coast and countryside and the Celtic magic that still lingers amidst ancient landscapes has attracted painters, writers and musicians for generations. Today there are more accomplished artists in the area than anywhere else in Britain and even film makers have discovered that some of the finest locations in Europe begin at Land's End.
Fishing and mining were once the cornerstones of the Cornish economy. The traditions of these communities provide a vibrant culture for today's visitor.
Bronze Age standing stones are more densely located in the Land's End Peninsula of Cornwall than in any other area of Britain and together with the remains of earlier neolithic burial chambers and Iron Age 'cliff castles', these sites offer a wealth of interest for the visitor wishing to explore the pre-history of the region.
