I’m not here to extoll Cornwall’s beauty, magic, & history..
as I’m sure you’ve heard all about this by now..
What I AM here to do is to show you around when you come.. on foot, by boat, or by car..
…depending where it is you wish to be!
So.. is it your mission to explore:
St Ives’ beaches and galleries or myths & legend of St Michael’s Mount?
Port Isaac and Doc Martin’s house?
Spooky little Boscastle
with the Witchcraft Museum?
King Arthur’s Tintagel
& Merlin’s Cave?
Botallack World Heritage Site or Charlestown Harbour (filming locations for Poldark)?
Ancient sites like Men an Tol or your ancestral mines & gravesites?
Your first question has to be this: how to get here in the first place!
Cornwall is 6 hours each way from London, 4 hours from the Cotswolds – this really is no place for a day trip!
Unless, that is, you take the night train – the Cornish Riviera – going to sleep in your couchette at London’s Paddington station and waking up in Truro, or Penzance… There, I can meet you after breakfast and whisk you around the far south west before dropping you back for another night train back east..
But that’s a bit hectic for a visit.. far better to stop a night or three, take the time to walk part of the coast path, get to know friendly locals, sample regional beers, seafood, cream teas and pasties, watch the sun set over the ocean, learn to surf or take a boat trip, get a sense of the diverse coves & communities & mines & museums & pubs & so much else that you won’t find anywhere else…

Love Cornwall – the edge of the World and not always easy to get to – but definitely worth the effort. The sleeper from London is a rare experience!
