The best way to enjoy Cornwall is outdoors

Cornwall’s gorgeous temperate climate is best enjoyed outside! And even when visiting our Great Little City you’ll find pockets of greenery everywhere, perfect for soaking up a little peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of city life. 

Venture a little out of the city centre and that rolling countryside really starts to open up.  Find acres of glorious woodland to get lost in for a while, walking trails snaking through some of the most beautiful National Trust land and gardens and lovely independent gardens that have been here for decades, maturing over the years to little slices of paradise.
