Holidays In Cornwall - Touring Can Be Fun And Exciting

By Lyle Garrett


Holidays in Cornwall give extreme pleasure with visits to innumerable, picturesque and mesmerizing locations. Each place has a story that throws the visitor into complete nostalgia; best known for tin-mining, cliffs and landscaping adventures among other things. The place relives the past with its castles, beaches, valleys and hillocks.

Located in South England, the town is best known for its beaches. Around 300 beaches cater to the visitors for their tastes and pleasures. Visitors can visit the small, almost untouched villages and towns located near the shorelines.

Cornish food is something tourist would like to taste. Marine dishes made from mussel and crabs are commonly served. But, it's Cornish pastry that is mostly eaten and preferred by visitors for its originality and taste. Usually served with tea and gravy, it has become a lunch item.

The visitors who would like to explore history would find visiting few sites very memorable. St. Michel's Mount, Lanhydrock House, Hurlers and Chysauster are best known for tourist interest. The churches and castles reveal some of the hidden truths.

Tour without golfing is of no use. The place has some of the best and most visited golf courses like Nicklaus, St. Mellion, Kernow and Lanhydrock. Tournaments are often organized and tourists can see, observe and come near their favorite celeb golfer.

Staying in caravans can bring delight with St Ives Holiday Park dedicated completely for such stays. These modern cottage type homes are equipped with a complete set of necessaries with additional facilities like swimming pool, gym or terrace garden in some of them. The stay can be made pleasurable with tours to nearby coves and beaches.

The County has chief attractions in Fowey, St Ives and Padstow. While Fowey is known for beautiful coves and beaches, St Ives houses the rare art galleries and Padstow has the best shoreline restaurants and old-modeled villages.
