Visit West Cornwall

The West Cornwall coastline fans out to north and south along great corrugated cliffs, while the rocky spine of the peninsula wriggles its way eastwards through an enduring landscape of tawny moorland, lush woodland and serene, timeless villages.

A landscape rich with the haunting burial chambers and stone circles of ancient people whose spirit still seems to cast a beautiful spell over all who visit.

The places, people and sensations you go to in your day-dreams. Carefree days on golden beaches, fresh clear air, vast blue skies and dolphins playing in the clear warm ocean.

Mix in a wealth of festivals, enthralling outdoor activities, art, culture and heritage, unique covered attractions, the warmth of old-fashioned pubs, the delights of new Cornish cuisine, and the unbeatable company of the Cornish people.

West Cornwall begins and ends at Belerion, ancient ‘Sea of Storms’, the Land’s End of today. This is where Atlantic swells, born a thousand miles away pound against soaring cliffs of golden granite sending great wings of spray into the air. Yet, on calm, hazy summer days that same ocean ripples at your toes like a lake, its mirrored surface reflecting the crystal-clear light and vivid colours that make West Cornwall one of the world’s most exhilarating holiday destinations.
