About Cornwall

Cornwall is England's most southwesterly peninsula — a 'Celtic fringe' of granite headlands, hidden coves, tin-mine ruins and surf beaches that feels more Celtic than English. St Ives combines a Tate gallery in a working fishing town with blue water that looks Caribbean on a clear day. Padstow's seafood, the Eden Project's biosphere domes and the South West Coast Path walking trail attract visitors year-round.

Highlights

  • St Ives harbour and Tate gallery
  • Land's End — the westernmost point
  • Eden Project biomes
  • Porthcurno Telegraph Museum and Minack Theatre
  • Falmouth National Maritime Museum
  • Padstow and Rick Stein seafood restaurants
