The West Country / Cornwall region
Beautiful places, interesting towns, stunning coastline and accesibility. This sums up the Cornish experience in or out of season. Truro is ideally situated to get to everywhere you need to go but at the same time retains some peace and quiet for your stay coupled with handy access to bars, restaurants and shopping.
You could explore the rugged cliffs of the North Coast and walk the coastal path that tin miners originally made on their way to the mines. Equally you could visit the South coast with its inlets, rivers and hideaway pubs. Known for always being a few degrees warmer than the rest of the UK, Cornwall is without exception the ultimate UK holiday destination.
