Cornwall.
All yours.

Discover Cornwall. Wild beaches and rolling moors. Market towns and fishing villages. Art colonies and seal colonies. Subtropical gardens and some of the best food in Britain.

One of the UK’s best-loved
holiday destinations

Cornwall is packed with surprises beyond its coastline. Come for the beaches and discover a culture that runs deeper than the sea: centuries-old festivals, creative communities, ancient moorland, and the freshest food from land and sea.

Summer is buzzing and golden, with clifftop music festivals and coves where the rocks feel warm long past sunset. Winter is for wild walks, shoreline saunas and solstice celebrations. Spring and autumn for hiking boots, hedgerow foraging, wild dips, and a deep breath between the seasons.

Walkers, wildlife watchers, wild dippers, wave riders, dog walkers, culture vultures, food lovers – choose your Cornwall.

Go coastal

Three hundred miles of coastline. Tread the South West Coast Path from hidden coves sheltered from the breeze, to wide-open stretches where surfers ride the swells.

Soak up the softness of the South Coast, cut with wooded creeks, pebble coves, harbour towns, and fishing communities. Explore Falmouth, Fowey and Newlyn, where maritime history meets modern culture.

Feel the force of the Atlantic on the north coast. From Newquay – the UK’s surfing capital – to the far west’s wave-lashed promontories where legends tell of lingering mermaids.

Things to do in Cornwall

Beyond Cornwall’s beaches, the real exploring begins – from all-weather family attractions and water sports, to wild spas and woodland trails.

Climb granite tors for coast-to-coast views. Discover ancient standing stones. Watch starling murmurations above wild heathland. Explore galleries and creative happenings, inspired by Cornwall’s unique light, landscapes, culture and energy.

Duck into country inns where Cornish ales are served by crackling fires. Picnic beside streams where wild ponies roam. Dine on Michelin-level dishes with a side of sea views.

Local traditions run deeper still. From St Piran’s Day all across Cornwall to Padstow’s Obby Oss, Helston’s Flora Day and Montol in Penzance, these centuries-old rituals aren’t for show – they’re just Cornwall being itself.
