Cornwall: The region

Holiday Cottage Cornwall

Cornwall is the peninsula at the far South West corner of England and has the mildest climate in Britain. Our spring comes early and the warm autumn lingers longer.

Cornwall is almost an island, the River Tamar cuts us off from Devon and the other sides are surrounded by the sea. Over 300 miles of rugged coastline is punctuated by high rocky cliffs that are carpeted in heather.

Both the most westerly point in mainland Britain - Lands End - and the most southerly - The Lizard - are in Cornwall.
