Known for

As well as being the home to surfing in Britain, Cornwall is also a local favourite for holidays and trips to the seaside. Its stunning white beaches, great surf, rugged cliffs, and great amenities for tourists makes Cornwall a must-visit for sea-lovers.

It’s not just the ocean you’ve got to look forward to on your trip to Cornwall though. Littered with history (some of which is still visible in the old tin mines and castles you’ll see throughout the county), stunning seaside towns (such as St Ives), and a good helping of unique wildlife, Cornwall feels like a country within itself.

Just a heads up though – in the summer months, Cornwall is so good that even the locals can’t help but visit, and the county swells considerably in population. It can get a little busy, so if you’re visiting we recommend avoiding the summer holidays (Late July-Early September). Good thing Cornwall is stunning year-round and the best surf is outside that season!
