Welcome to West Cornwall

West Cornwall is a magical mix of golden beaches and rocky coves, of towering cliffs and lonely moorland, of flower-filled countryside and friendly towns and villages, all of which combine to make this famous 'Granite Kingdom' of the Lands End Peninsula one of the finest holiday destinations in Europe. West Cornwall is also home to a surviving ancient landscape of neolithic chamber tombs, Bronze Age standing stones and stone circles. West Cornwall's magnificent peninsula is enclosed within 36 miles of coastline which runs from St Ives in the north to Penzance and Mounts Bay in the south to create an island atmosphere without the isolation. And West Cornwall's open secret, the crystal-clear ocean.
