Cornwall has all bases covered. Whether you're looking to fill your days with picturesque coastal walks, sampling the delicious local cuisine or visiting the popular local attractions nearby, you won't be shy of things to do during your Cornish break.
We have a whole range of options to kick start your holidays in Cornwall. This idyllic holiday destination at the southwestern-most tip of the mainland UK, is surrounded by clear blue waters, with long and winding coastline, punctuated by secret coves and sandy bays - a Cornwall holiday delivers on every front.
If you're looking for a beach holiday, you can't go wrong with the great Cornish weather (rain or shine!) and rugged cliffs that shelter holidaymakers on the sand below. The North Coast of Cornwall is perfect for finding sheltered sunny spots to sunbathe and enjoy a dip in the sea, as prevailing winds blow from the southwest.
But it's not all about the chilled vibes, surf and beache. Lose hours wandering through picturesque seaside towns, soaking up the laidback charm, visiting the popular local attractions nearby and sampling fish and chips. Or hike off the beaten track and enjoy the lush green surroundings - locals will tell you the best unspoilt places to roam.
