Welcome to North Cornwall

North Cornwall is one of the most picturesque regions of South West England. Roughly one third of its countryside is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and consists of a dramatic, 60 miles of windswept coastline, steep headlands and unspoilt river estuaries. The North Cornwall area is home to some of the best beaches in Cornwall, which are perfect for family holidays and also some are excellent for surfing.

Cliff side walks and coast paths offer dramatic views of the Atlantic as it meets the majestic Cornish cliffs, while small fishing villages pepper the impressive coastline, hidden away in sandy coves. This region is picture postcard Cornwall. There is a tangible feeling of seclusion in North Cornwall, which is slightly lacking in the popular resorts found to the county's south.

The desolate but romantic Bodmin moor, stretching out over the north west of Cornwall, is largely untouched and features the peaks of Brown Willy and Rough Tor, both which stand at over 1000ft. Tintagel, rumoured to be the birthplace of King Arthur is a notable historical site and is steeped in Arthurian legend - the remains of the castle stand precariously on the cliff's edge.

There are no large towns found in North Cornwall which helps the region to maintain an air of seclusion and remoteness. This is a land of fishing villages, coves, farmsteads, cliffs, wooded valleys and charming market towns.
