Looe in Cornwall is a quaint little village with lots to offer. I discovered it back in 2008 and couldn’t wait to visit it again this year while holidaying in Cornwall. It is about 40 mins away... more

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful historic area

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be overun by tourists

    Tintagel is quite literally a legendary place to visit being the supposed home of the Great King Arthur. This could either be fact or fiction, but it is thought that the Celtic kings during the 5th century used it as a trading settlement. Today it remains a small but close knit community which copes very well with the influx of tourists and the town still retains its original charm. Our holiday there on 9th October 2004 was fully packed and I’d like to pass on some of our experiences so you can make the most of your visit to this enchanting part of North Cornwall’s coast.

    As some of you may know, I live in one of the loveliest places in the UK: Cornwall. The following is an attempt to tempt you all into this fair and fertile land and though it's pretty long, I hope you'll still find it interesting! As I live in the west of Cornwall, it really is mostly about the area surrounding me. ~~~~~~~~~West Cornwall~~~~~~~~~~ The area of Penwith, situated in the West of Cornwall, is an area rich in history, spectacular landscapes, and golden beaches. Add to this the abundance of attractions, stunning coastal scenery, walks and historical locations and you have an area ... more

    Advantages Advantages Wondeful landscapes and seaviews

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    With all the talk of air miles and saving energy I wonder why more folk don't consider staying in England for their holidays. Obviously the weather is the major concern but a beautiful summers day here can compare with anywhere in the world and if you can get a full week of good weather well there really is no need to travel abroad. Plus the added bonus of no language barrier, the water is safe to drink and you don't have to convert your money into the local currency! One of my favourite places is Cornwall. With the diversity and beauty of the landscapes it is a true treasure right on our own ... more

    Advantages Advantages Tons of things to do, fantastic scenery, relatively inexpensive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor road signing means getting lost is a constant danger!

    Despite having lived in England all my life, I'd never been to Cornwall before. Having just got back from a week holidaying there, I am pleased to report that I was very pleasantly surprised with what the county had to offer. We stayed in a holiday cottage just outside the small village of Hayle. In fact the whole county is made up of countryside and small villages, with very few actual cities. The scenery inland is beautiful and there are hundreds of walks you can take - beware though, a good map is a must as signposts telling you where you're going are very few and far between in places ... more

    Hello. Somewhere between Boxing Day and New Years’- after the excesses of a busy, glut filled Christmas- eating,shopping,entertaining and all the preparations,I felt tired and in need of rejuvenation.I just wanted to escape to some secluded quiet and bautiful retreat. A place to recharge my batteries. Somewere by the coast most definitely. Somewhere in the country- or a mix if poss,between the two. Just for 3 or 4 days. I was really lucky- I got it. CORNWALL AND MY IMPRESSIONS... For several years,I’ve always wanted to visit Cornwall,and compare the Italian beaches with it- in particular,St ... more
