Holiday cottages in Cornwall
There is more to Cornwall than pasties and beaches. From the western tip of the Land’s End peninsula to Bude on the northern coast, Cornwall is scattered with Roman artefacts, rugged moors, medieval castles, manor houses, parks and attractions of all kinds. A holiday cottage in Cornwall is a great way to see big attractions like the Eden Project, the National Seal Sanctuary, King Arthur’s home at Tintagel Castle, and the Bodmin and Wenford Railway and explore the hidden delights as well. See the views from the top of Crackington Haven, the caves at Hell’s Mouth, the cream tea at St. Mawes, and the St. Agnes museum.
Two attractions deserve special mention; the stunning open air Minack Theatre and Whipsiderry beach. Carved out of the cliffs in 1931 the auditorium of the Minack looks out directly over the sea, meaning that all plays are performed against the backdrop of the North Atlantic. By day it is a good way to spend a couple of hours learning about local history. Perfect for surfing and for families Whipsiderry beach has been listed as one of The Times Top Ten beaches in the UK. It is clean, beautiful, safe and rarely crowded because most tourists flock to Newquay which is just down the coast. To discover this amazing part of the UK book one of our holiday cottages in Cornwall today.
