For a taste of wild Cornwall, head to the rugged landscapes of Bodmin Moor, renowned for its prehistoric ritual sites, ancient stone circles and settlements, dramatic granite tors, including Brown Willy, Cornwall’s highest point, and iconic landmarks such as Jamaica Inn, immortalised in Daphne du Maurier’s novel of the same name. The moor is also rich in wildlife, home to rare butterflies, unique mosses, ground-nesting birds and birds of prey, alongside free-roaming sheep, cattle, and ponies.

Cornwall is famed for having some of the best beaches in the country. Surfers flock to Fistral Beach, where Atlantic swells can reach impressive heights, while Carbis Bay offers a beautiful stretch of golden sand and calm, clear waters ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking. All along the Cornish coast you’ll find hidden coves perfect for a more secluded escape, such as Porthgwarra, a filming location for Poldark, and Portheras, where seals are often spotted bobbing in the waves. Nature lovers will be drawn to the unique geology of the Lizard Peninsula, a haven for rare plants and flowers, with a stunning coastline of sandy bays, dramatic rock formations, and sea caves.

There is no shortage of attractions to explore in Cornwall. Highlights include the Lost Gardens of Heligan, with its productive kitchen gardens, historic pleasure grounds, and lush jungle area, Tintagel Castle, a dramatic medieval fortress steeped in myth and legend and famously linked to King Arthur, and the Eden Project, where you can wander through the world’s largest indoor rainforest, stroll past citrus groves and ancient olive trees, and explore 20 acres of outdoor gardens focused on food, fuel, medicine, and materials.

With its rich heritage of fishing, tin mining, and smuggling, Cornwall is a rewarding destination at any time of year. Food lovers will be spoilt for choice, with everything from relaxed harbourside seafood restaurants to Michelin-starred dining. And no visit would be complete without a freshly-baked Cornish pasty or a traditional cream tea – jam first, of course!
