Cornwall Trip Planner

Welcome to Cornwall!

Lying in the southwest of England, Cornwall, or Kernow as it is known to native speakers of Cornish, offers a unique take on British life. Inhabitants of Cornwall often distinguish themselves from the rest of England as part of a seperate Celtic nation. The northern coast of the county is lined with beaches and cliffs cut by the raging Atlantic Ocean. The seaside towns of Padstow and Bude are popular for their combination of village life and beach-bum cool. Truro is the only city in the county and the main administrative centre but it lives in the shadow of Newquay, which has styled itself as Britain's surfing capital thanks to the reliable breaks at Fistral Beach.

Cornwall is in tune with its past and fascinating places of historical importance like Tintagel, Pendennis Castle and Truro Cathedral are all worth including on an itinerary. A more contemporary attraction is the Eden Project near St. Austell. It contains huge ecological experiments within giant dome-shaped greenhouses, which can be explored by visitors. Other places of natural beauty include Bodmin Moor and St. Michael's Mount.
