Explore West Cornwall with Cornish Cottages

If you're dreaming of dramatic coastlines, golden sands and unforgettable days out, West Cornwall should be on your summer list. From wild swimming and coastal walks to open-air theatre and vibrant art scenes, this part of Cornwall offers something for everyone – whether you're staying nearby or planning a scenic day trip from elsewhere in the county.

Walk the Coast from Porthcurno to Land’s End

This stretch of the South West Coast Path is nothing short of spectacular. Expect towering cliffs, turquoise coves and the thrill of spotting seals, seabirds – or even dolphins. It’s a walk that captures the raw beauty of Cornwall.

Catch a Show at the Minack Theatre

Set high above Porthcurno Beach, the open-air Minack Theatre is one of Cornwall’s most iconic attractions. With performances running throughout the summer, it’s the perfect way to spend a warm evening – bring a blanket, a pasty and enjoy the view.

Visit St Michael’s Mount

No trip to West Cornwall is complete without crossing the tidal causeway to this historic island. With its medieval castle, sub-tropical gardens and charming harbour village, it’s a magical place for all ages.

Relax on West Cornwall’s Best Beaches

Sennen Cove, Porthcurno and Praa Sands are ideal for beach lovers, with clear waters, soft sand and fantastic surf. Quieter spots like Nanjizal or Prussia Cove are perfect for picnics and paddling away from the crowds.

Explore the Creative Side of St Ives

This picturesque town has long been a haven for artists. Pop into Tate St Ives, explore the Barbara Hepworth Museum, and browse independent galleries and boutiques around every corner.
