Welcome to West Cornwall

Surrounded by blue seas, sandy beaches, friendly people, beautiful countryside, history and a thousand and one things to do. West Cornwall, has it all.

West Cornwall has a wealth of beaches with crystal clear blue waters, golden sands, steep rocky cliffs and hidden little coves, so wether you want a peaceful lay out in the sun, go swimming, or surfing you'll find a beach perfect for you, West Cornwall's beaches regularly receive awards for both their facilities and their cleanliness. If you have alook at the 'Beaches' page on this site theirs a map of most (but not all) of the beaches in West Cornwall.

Both the cliffs and the moorland provide plenty of opportunity to "escape" with well marked footpaths all along the cliff-tops while the inland area is criss-crossed with footpaths and bridle-ways. Scattered over West Cornwall are many pre-historic sites where stone circles, standing stones and settlement sites can be found. As symbols of the heritage of the people of West Cornwall, there are numerous stark granite-built towers rising above the remote moorland and cliff-tops. These were the engine houses of the tin mines which once formed the life-line of the Cornish economy along with farming and fishing, though through dwindling fish stocks West Cornwall is now heavily dependent on the tourism.
