Weekend Breaks in Cornwall
WHY WEEKEND IN CORNWALL?
It's paradise, found
For centuries, the ancient Celtic kingdom of Cornwall (or Kernow, as it’s know to Cornish speakers) has beat to a different drum. This proud, westerly leg of England has a spirit of its own, which means a weekend break in Cornwall feels like nothing else in the country.
For a weekend of salty hair, try Cornwall’s North Atlantic Coast, with its incredible surfing beaches like Newquay and Watergate Bay. Or, if you prefer a softer kind of beach life, head to Cornwall’s quieter blue coves on the west coast; Porthgwarra and Polurrian are beautiful – all year long.
There’s also Poldark’s Cornwall to explore, with the castle-like ruins of the engine houses that once powered the region’s copper and tin mines. As well as the wilds of inland Cornwall where you’ll find Bodmin Moor, the world-famous Jamaica Inn and many myths and legends.
There are otherworldly paradises waiting too, such as the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan. And small, quaint fishing villages and towns like Gweek, Mousehole, Fowey, and Marazion where you can order ice-cream with clotted cream on top. Cornwall’s larger, trendy hotspots, like St. Ives and Padstow, are also worth a detour – even for a few hours – just to sample their creative wares and culinary flare.
In truth, wherever you choose to weekend in Cornwall, you’re sure to return home a littler free-spirited than before. And a lot more addicted to pasties. Kernow, you’ve got it going ON.
