Cornwall is a beautiful county in the south west of England. It is the only county that borders only one other, that being Devon. It’s been a popular location for family holidays, student breaks and change in pace of life if you work in a busy city like London. During the summer the population explodes with tourists looking to enjoy themselves. There’s plenty to do in the area but it can all be a little overwhelming, so here are five of the best things you can do:

Land’s End – Expect a fantastic view from this picturesque part of the country as you stand on the most westerly part of the country.

There’s a selection of shops and restaurants in the area, so don’t think it’s just a baron area, because it’s far from it! It’s a great place to take the dog too for a run around.

these gardens are for you. They were handed to the National Trust in 1962 and since then remain just as beautiful. The area stays relatively warm allowing the growth of exotic and rare botanies. Visit here in spring to see the gardens coming to life and to experience the full size maze in the flesh.

Eden Project – This huge complex houses some of the finest and rarest plants and flowers in the world, and is widely regarded as one of the must visits for any plant or natural geography enthusiasts.

Cornwall is another beautiful region of the U.K. Popular for the daffodils, the pasty, and the beautiful colored hills.

In Cornwall on the west side you can find lots of attractions by the shore line, you got for example the pinnacle theater and Land’s end which are very beautiful places to go and visit.

My favorite Cornish city is Penzance, it’s a very beautiful , old, and was one of the oldest harbors of the U.K. If you go to Penzance don’t forget to go to the main street and have a Cornish pasty, they’re really good there. The seaside at Penzance is very nice and the beaches are made out of pebbles. This city also has a harbor that’s worth visiting, just go for a walk along the shore line and you should find it.

Cornish people come from a Celtic lineage and they also have their own dialect.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
