Why
Cornish Coast
is special
Tourists flock to the coast of Cornwall for its beautiful rugged coast line,
hidden coves, and cliff-top hiking trail.

The top 5
attractions

Land's
End - Heavy seas crash against the tall, rough-hewn cliffs at
England's southwesternmost point (if you head directly east, you'll hit
Canada).

Coastal
Path - A scenic 175-kilometer (270-mile) trail runs along the seaside cliffs
of Cornwall. Hikers do day outings, or do the entire trail in a couple of
weeks, or do it in stages over the course of several or more years. Some trail
sections are easy, some are strenuous up-and-down affairs.

Beach
towns - The two best known are the surfer-oriented Newquay and the
artist-haven St. Ives. Note: They are a bit touristy.

Eden
Project - A bubble-topped complex that conducts ecological experiments.

St.
Michael's Mount - A tiny castle-crowned islet that can be reached by foot during
low tide or by ferry when the tide rolls in.

Tips & insights on
the Cornish Coast

The
climate is much milder than England in general.

The
north shore is windier than the south shore.

Winters
can sometimes be blustery (because of strong Atlantic Ocean winds). Summers are
pleasant, but the best times are late Spring and early Fall.
