Discover a county rich with history and culture
Renowned for its historic ports and mining roots, there's plenty to learn and discover all over Cornwall. You can visit the Gothic-revival cathedral in Truro, Cornwall's only city, or explore the 15th-century parish of Lanhydrock, near Bodmin. There's the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, where you can see first-hand the history of Cornwall's shipping and trade industry, or you can take a tour of the preserved Geevor Tin Mine in Pendeen.
Or if you'd rather soak up some culture, you'll find seasonal drama at the famous open-air Minack Theatre by Porthcuno Bay, modern art at the Tate St. Ives, or touring West End show at the Hall for Cornwall in Truro.
Find a retirement home in a diverse, beautiful landscape
From the 300 miles of surrounding coastline to the moors, farmland and wooded valleys spread around the region, Cornwall is full of scenic views and rural countryside.
You can look out over the Atlantic Ocean from High Cliff, the highest sheer drop in Cornwall, trek across the 80 square miles of Bodmin Moor, or just relax and watch the surfers along the sandy beaches of Fistral Bay.
Cornwall's also home to one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, made up of twelve different areas covering 370 square miles. In fact, there's so much outstanding beauty that the designated area represents more than a quarter of the entire county!
