Cornwall offers a great selection of things to see and do, celebrating all that is special about this wonderful county at the far southwest end of England. Notable for its coastline with spectacular beaches and charming fishing villages, subtropical gardens, and tin mining industry, there are plenty of other aspects of Cornwall that draw people here on holiday, time and time again.

Having as much coastline as it does, the most of any county in England, Cornwall provides exceptional opportunities to spend time by the sea. There are over 300 beaches of all shapes and sizes, and every type of water sport available. With the north coast providing some of the best surfing conditions in Europe, this pastime, in particular, is hugely popular with both locals and visitors.

Walking the coastal path is a wonderful way to see the best of Cornwall, whether it be for a brisk hour or two, or a several-day trek. Charming coves and fishing communities await, and in themselves offer great opportunities for fun and activity.

The gardens of Cornwall are world-famous, and a visit to at least one of them should be included in a holiday here. Tin mining was a major industry across the county for many centuries, its importance signified by the fact that Cornwall (and West Devon) have UNESCO World Heritage status. This heritage can be learnt about and appreciated at a variety of attractions, including mines that have been kept intact for the visitor to enjoy.

All in all, there’s something for everyone in Cornwall, no matter what a person’s interests.
