Cornwall

Cornwall- A lovely Place to Visit Cornwall boast of a very mild climate compared to the rest of Great Britain. It is situated down in the South West part of England. It is also steeped in history and at the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 the population of Cornwall was around about 25,000 which seems a lot too me. Cornwall is very busy with tourists in the summer months which is a plus for the employment side of things but it also puts a lot of pressure on the local services such as Hospitals etc. Also the volume of traffic on the roads increases and this causes in time environmental damage.

Ah Cornwall. It was in Cornwall that I first saw the Milky Way. A starry cloud, meandering its way around the sky occasionally traversed by the reflected light of a satellite. For a city boy this is quite a sight and one I still get a buzz from every night, when it’s clear. There are many parts of Britain that can inspire, but none like Cornwall. Oh, the romance, the scenery, the mystery, the tragedy and the legacy of long dead traditional industries. All wrapped up in the most western peninsula of mainland Britain. The scenery varies massively from gently rolling farmland to the wild craggy coastline of the most romantic of romantic ...  Read the complete review

Despite having lived in England all my life, I'd never been to Cornwall before. Having just got back from a week holidaying there, I am pleased to report that I was very pleasantly surprised with what the county had to offer. (This was written a while ago, I wasn't actually in Cornwall a week before posting this - unfortunately!) We stayed in a holiday cottage just outside the small village of Hayle. In fact the whole county is made up of countryside and small villages, with very few actual cities. The scenery inland is beautiful and there are hundreds of walks you can take - beware though, a good map is a must as signposts telling you where you're going are ...  Read the complete review

I first visited Corwall a few years ago, we were heading for Newquay, on the way we stopped off at my brother - in - laws, who lives in Port Gaverne he has a few holiday cottages down there Seaways and Creekside, and these are situated only 50 yards from arguably the best public house in north Cornwall ,the Gaverne Arms, where the cuisine here is exceptional and this is again flanked by one of Cornwalls most secluded coves, which is at its best towards sunset after a good days touring. Port Gaverne is situated just below Port Isaac attain by rather narrow roads with passing spaces, but the welcome from the pub is worth it, not forgetting the great seaviews you get from ...  Read the complete review
