Arts, history & heritage

Cornwall is renowned for its wealth of natural and man-made treasures, ranging from ancient stone circles to contemporary art galleries. But nowhere in the county will you find a greater concentration of both. For quality art and craft galleries, internationally important monuments to mining and mystical ancient sites, the Land's End area offers cultural tourists a wealth of choice.
