May 19, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

Cornwall is the extreme southwestern peninsula of England. It has the longest stretch of continuous coastline in Britain and it is one of the sunniest areas in the UK. With picturesque villages, Celtic ruins, light blue waters, gardens and parks and unique architecture it certainly is among the most scenic areas of England. Home of many events and festivals and the land of Cornish pasty, it is definitely worth visiting.

Danescombe Mine

A courageous conversion has made the engine house of a former mine a lovely and interesting Landmark. Standing by a stream in a steep wooded valley leading down to the Tamar, the mine worked on and off from 1822 to 1900. Danescombe Mine can be booked for short breaks with the Landmark Trust, a charity that restores historic buildings at risk and makes them available for holidays.

Circular Cottages

Built in the early 19th century, these thatched circular structures were used to guard the village from evil, since there are no corners where the devil could hide.

Pencarrow House and Gardens

Reviewed By Coalchucker - Winchester, United Kingdom

Pencarrow is a beautiful house and well worth visiting. It's still a family home and it has a quirky and personal feel which sets it apart from other country houses. Lady Molesworth St Aubyn and her late husband took it on in the 1970s after it had not been lived in for some time and they have done a fantastic job. We enjoyed the new bookshop and a light lunch which was tasty and well presented, followed by a tour of the house. Our guide Karen was good-humoured and very knowledgeable making the tour most enjoyable. A walk around the gardens then followed with plenty to see. Our visit was made extra special by a delightful and informal chat with Lady M. herself and it was no surprise to find that she was every bit as friendly and welcoming as her lovely house. She deserves your support in continuing to look after this special place for us all to enjoy.

Prideaux Place

Reviewed By hwat28 - Wadebridge, United Kingdom

I have visited Prideaux Place many times over the years living locally. It’s in a beautiful location overlooking Padstow and the Estuary and easy walking distance from town. The house and gardens are beautiful as well as the deer park. The tour around the house is really interesting and the house itself stunning, it was featured on the TV programme ‘most haunted’. I have been to some fabulous events in the gardens such as Music in the Park and outdoor Shakespeare Theatre. Also, recently opened in the tearooms Angus and Tracy’s food is delicious, well worth a visit! There are some lovely walks closeby to the War Memorial or behind the deer park and out towards Stepper Point.
