DISCOVER COASTAL WONDER ON YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY

Holidays in Cornwall are a time to tune into the coastal environment, from rockpool discoveries to dark sky sights. Is there a better place to spend your downtime?

We approach 2024 holidays with coastal wonder in mind, blending the most exquisite interiors with Cornwall’s most dynamic seafront locations for getaways which amaze with the county’s natural wonder.

Discover what 2024 holds for dark sky spotting, what our coastal wildlife is up to, how to take a more mindful pace to travel and what ‘slow travel’ means today, where you can sample the best seafood in Cornwall, and much more.

SLOW TRAVEL IN 2024

Travel by rail, on foot or two wheels? What does slow travel mean today and why should we embrace a slower pace when away? We asked The Slow Traveller author Jo Tinsley and Dan Kieran, writer of The Idle Traveller, to share their take on slow travel and how to do it.

How to do slow travel

ALL AT SEA

Kayak the Fowey estuary in spring, take a bellyboard to the waves at Porthcothan in summer, chase an autumnal cold water swim with a shoreline sauna and imagine locally-landed moules mariniére on a winters evening.

ROCKPOOLS REVEALED

Cornwall’s many rock pools are teeming with wildlife creating a unique habitat of coastal wonder. We asked Dr Ben Holt at The Rock Pool Project to share his top tips for being rock-pool ready.

INSTANT BEACH

Staying footsteps from the beach means it’s there whenever you want it, high tide, low tide, squally winds, brilliant blue skies. We visit some of our favourite shores for dawn dips, riverside relaxation, serene strolls and breath taking views.

FIND YOUR FISH

Head chef at Newlyn’s Tolcarne Inn Ben Tunnicliffe tells us how he selects fish from the ice in the fishmonger’s and what to do with it when it’s on the kitchen worktop.
