Introducing North Cornwall

Show mapClose map

The north Cornish coast is where the rolling grey Atlantic smacks hard into the county’s granite cliffs, and for many people it’s the quintessential Cornish landscape – a wild mix of grassy headlands, craggy bluffs and pounding surf. It’s also where you’ll find the county’s best beaches and biggest waves, so in summer the winding clifftop roads are often jammed with tourists; but visit in the off-season when the weather’s cooler and the holidaymakers have left for home, and you might have some of Cornwall’s finest sand all to yourself.
