Cornwall Visitors Map (A-Z Visitors Map)

Product Information

It is the home of the famous Land’s End sign, which marks the distance to various points including New York and John O’ Groats. Sadly, though, you now have to pay to be photographed standing beneath the sign (although you do get to have it personalized with your family name and the date). The entire area has become heavily commercialized recently, so it does not quite have the wild and rugged feel you may expect in certain areas. Nevertheless, it is still pretty cool to stand at England’s closest point to the US and to admire the awesome view of the Atlantic! Land’s End is an iconic Cornish attraction, marking Cornwall’s westernmost point and offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the many places in Cornwall where you can experience nature in all her finery, from the waves crashing against the granite to the wind whipping through your hair as you enjoy rugged clifftop walks. It is one of England’s sunniest spots, with beaches that could rival the Caribbean and scenery that has inspired generations of writers, painters, and photographers. A number of hotels have opened throughout the county, offering guests a place to unwind and get a sense of what it’s like to live in the area. Arty St Ives, known for its museums and galleries, is well-known for its attractions in addition to its museums and galleries, while Penzance has recently emerged as a vibrant community. To satisfy your afternoon appetite, enjoy a glass of premium ice cream from Moomaid of Zennor. St Michael’s Mount is located in England, and it is the English equivalent of the French Mont-Saint-Michel Monastery. Porthcurno is one of the loveliest of them all, with a sandy beach and a stream running through it. In addition to St Mawes, The Lizard and Portscatho, the Roseland peninsula contains a variety of other islands.

The archipelago has several islands and islets, with the largest being St. Mary’s. Other major islands include Tresco, St. Martin’s, and St Agnes. When is the best time of year to visit St Ives? Winter is the best time for surfing, while summer is ideal for sunbathing on the beaches.

My Mother-in-law used to talk about Mevagissey all the time- it was one of her favourite places in Cornwall. And honestly, it’s one of ours now. Truro is also known for its shopping. Stroll through the town center to visit various independent shops, boutiques, and larger chain stores. The semi-sheltered Porthmeor Beach is an excellent spot for surfing, with surf schools and rentals. Other great beaches in St Ives include the picturesque Blue Flag Porthminster Beach, the small Porthgwidden Beach, and the relatively secluded Bamaluz Beach. There are plenty of good times to visit Cornwall, away from the busiest months of July and August. Personally, we love May, June and September- it’s also one of the best places to visit in Europe in Autumn. Where to stay in Cornwall There are two trails throughout the town, the Hetty and Ada, each marked with numbered slate discs along the way. The map enables you to interpret why the discs are where they are and gives you the full story of the significant developments in Newquay's history - from the coming of the railway to the development of the harbour - it's all there you to uncover with the Newquay Discovery Map.

If you are traveling with children or you’re a big kid yourself, stop at the popular Flambards Theme Park in Helston en route to the Lizard Peninsula. One of the coolest things to do is a trip to Bodmin Moor. Wild, remote, rugged, and windswept, the moor is steeped in legends—look out for the Beast of Bodmin! Classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the moor covers some 77 square miles and has quaint villages, historic spots, lakes, and caverns. If you want a huge, endless and often empty stretch of sand, head for Carbis Bay Beach, a mammoth 25 acres of golden sands lapped by beautifully clear water. St Nectans Glen is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Europe. It’s near Tintagel Castle, so you can tie the two in together for a great day out. The first day of the Cornwall road trip explores the lively town of Looe before heading southwest to the traditional Cornish fishing village of Mevagissey. LooeCornwall has several National Trust properties including the Levant Mine & Beam Engine on the cliff tops not far from Land's End.
