Located in the far south west of the UK, Cornwall proudly boasts the longest coastline of any country - approximately 430 miles (697 kms) in length. Out of this, nearly 147 miles (235 kms) have been designated as Heritage Coast. These impressive numbers hint at why Cornwall is the top choice for seaside holidays in the UK.
The Cornish coastline presents visitors with an abundant array of options - from quaint fishing villages along the south coast to bustling resorts like Newquay on the north coast, and countless hidden coves dotted throughout the county. The largely rural and coastal environment, combined with the sparse population of around 513,000, contributes to the region's scenic appeal and tranquil atmosphere, drawing thousands of visitors each year.
Despite its popularity, Cornwall remains relatively untouched by industrial development. Its only city, Truro, is home to just 21,000 residents and a stunning cathedral completed in 1910. With its winding streets and picturesque views along the River Truro, this city feels more like a charming village.
Cornwall's enchanting combination of rich history, scenic beauty, and rustic charm makes it an ideal destination for your next UK holiday. From the picturesque fishing villages to the bustling resort towns, there's something for everyone in Cornwall.
