Why the
Cornish Coast
is special

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

Top 5
Cornish Coast
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.
