From the birthplace of King Arthur to the westernmost point of mainland England, these are the best views in Cornwall
It’s easy to see why Cornwall is one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations. This historic county has over 300 miles of jaw-dropping coastline with rugged cliffs and golden beaches, quaint fishing villages and bustling ports, while inland it boasts ancient forests and dramatic moors.
Cornwall is also home to 12 National Landscapes as well as the world’s largest greenhouses and a UNESCO-listed landscape scattered with the remnants of the region’s Poldark-era tin and copper mines.

St Michael’s Mount is a rocky tidal island in Mount’s Bay in Cornwall. The picturesque Mount is home to a medieval church and castle as well as a small community of 35 people. It is linked to the town of Marazion by a cobbled causeway which can be crossed between mid-tide and low water.
