West Cornwall

Regions of Cornwall

Open to Atlantic swells and shifting coastal weather, West Cornwall is defined by rugged headlands, exposed beaches and dramatic sea conditions. The weather can be changeable and atmospheric, with light and conditions transforming rapidly along the coastline.

Wild and elemental, where ancient tin mines, sweeping headlands and raw Atlantic scenery meet.
