Cornwall Tourist Information

Holiday in Cornwall, a county where its wealth is in its spectacular natural beauty and maritime delights.  Nearly every inch of its coastline can be walked. There are beaches galore from family friendly stretches of golden sand with exploratory rock pools to surf dude territory and the world of extreme water sports.  Sailing, kayaking, fishing, wind-surfing - a water based activity is available in nearly every port, town and village on the Cornish coast. The interior landscape is varied and just as spectacular, ranging from the wilds of Bodmin Moor to the picturesque mining ruins that cling to cliffsides and dot the central heathlands, surrounded by rolling pastures and farmlands.

As the oldest nation (older even than England) and one of the oldest duchies in Europe, it is rich in a history that encompasses greatness, prosperity,poverty, strife, skulduggery and triumph.  As much has happened on the land itself as on the sea and if you think England's history is colourful, Cornwall's is even more so!  To experience Cornwall you have to see it and breathe it - it doesn't take long to get under your skin!

Take a minute and browse the pages of our destination guide.  We have included a list of events scheduled to take place in and around St Mawes in 2009.  It offers something for everyone. 

It's worth bookmarking it as a favourite page as it will be updated as and when we receive confirmation of dates currently not available and of course, to add new events.
