Truro is the only city in Cornwall, its Cathedral towering above the skyline with its green spire and gothic aesthetic. The Cathedral was built at the start of the 1900s 250 feet in the sky with great big Victorian stained glass windows and the south aisle is one of the finest pieces of medieval architecture in Cornwall. Originally a market town and port way back over 800 years and boomed with the rest of Cornwall during the tin mining era.
Blackrock Beach, located on the south side of Widemouth Bay, boasts a stunning natural landscape. The beach gets its name from the large rocky outcropping that can be seen to the south. Visitors should be aware that the tide can be quite high, resulting in the beach becoming inaccessible at certain times. The beach is a popular spot for surfers due to the strong point and reef breaks. Meanwhile, those who enjoy exploring the natural world will find plenty to keep them entertained in the rock pools that can be found at low tide.
Chapel Pool is a tidal pool located in the South East of Cornwall and this natural pool is nothing short of beautiful. We have taken many cold water swims at Chapel pool and loved each and everyone, the perfect afternoon in winter or summer.
