Quick Summary:
Cornwall conjures images of beautiful windswept pastures, white sandy beaches, rugged coastlines dotted with quaint fishing villages, and towering cliffs battered by crashing waves. Nestled on a peninsula of wild moorland that ends with the aptly named promontory known as Land’s End in southwest England, Cornwall is a charming seaside town with much to offer. Famous for its spectacular beaches and excellent surf, the coastline is also known as the Cornish Riviera and attracts large crowds in the summer. Cornwall has a wealth of lovely places to stay from ultra-luxurious villas to charming little seaside cottages, all ideally placed for exploring the beautiful coastline.
