The beaches in Cornwall are without compare in Britain for their beauty and variety. Towns such as Perranporth, Polzeath and Newquay are some of the better known of these, with some excellent surfing beaches. In my opinion the most beautiful are the tiny coves that dot the coastline like Coverack and Porthcurno (home of the Minack Theatre).
Also on the coast are some of Cornwall's picture postcard fishing villages and harbours like Looe, Mevagissey, Tintagel and Mousehole. The towns of Cornwall are rich in history and attractions of their own. Padstow, home of Rick Stien, Falmouth - one of the World's biggest natural harbours and a charming shopping town.
Truro is the only city in Cornwall with the cathedral dominating the skyline.
Penzance is one of Cornwall's largest towns and has a good range of restaurants and attractions. From the towns ancient harbour to the sub-tropical Morrab Gardens.
In terms of history Cornwall's rich industrial herritage can best be seen in and around Redruth and Camborne. Once at the heart of the mining industry these towns have spent many years in decline but are finally bouncing back.
Cornwall's ancient past is written all over the moorland countryside of Bodmin Moor and West Cornwall which are littered with ancient sites such as standing stone and stone circles. Other ruins that abound are the remenants of the mining industry, in many places these share the same sites the ancients chose to build on and add to the sense of history.
