THE ULTIMATE ONE-WEEK FAMILY ITINERARY TO CORNWALL
A family holiday in CORNWALL is about sea salt and sunshine. Tucked into England’s southwest corner, the county of Kernow, as it’s known in the local language, has the longest coastline in Britain and the warmest weather in the country. You’ll find some of the UK’s best beaches here to boot – exposed stretches in the north, a wild and windswept run of ragged cliffs and hunkered-down fishing villages, and sheltered coves in the south, where the rambling seashore is punctuated by tree-lined estuaries and pretty little harbours.
Over the course of a week, you’ll see the best of the county’s coasts, from Charlestown to Portscatho and from St Agnes to Tintagel. You’ll wander through rainforest at the Eden Project, hit the beaches of the Roseland Peninsula, hike past the remains of Cornwall’s tin-mining industry on the South West Coast Path, and cycle along the Camel Trail to Padstow.
