Surf, fishing villages and Atlantic cliffs
Cornwall juts into the Atlantic with a coastline of granite cliffs, sandy coves and harbour villages. St Ives has turquoise water and a strong art tradition, with a branch of the Tate and the Barbara Hepworth Museum. Newquay is the surf capital, while Padstow is known for seafood, and fishing villages like Mousehole and Port Isaac are postcard-pretty. Land's End and St Michael's Mount are classic sights, the Eden Project's biomes are unique, and the South West Coast Path follows the entire shoreline.
