The Best of Cornwall Beaches Cornwall is probably most renowned for its beaches and it’s no wonder really with over 300 of them. Cornish beaches have been rated amongst the best in the world and are delightfully diverse, ranging from the long and sweeping, to the small and intimate, only accessible by boat or coastal path. The soft swell of the south coast makes it ideally suited to families and younger children, whilst the north coast is a surfer’s paradise. Harbours Cornwall is also known for its quaint seaside harbours such as Mevagissey, St Mawes, Looe, Mousehole and Padstow. Many of these are still working fishing ports and are a beautiful sight to behold. Many of them offer visitors the chance to explore the coastline from the water and even try your hand at sea fishing. The historic port at Charlestown (pictured) is still used by square riggers ships, made famous by pirates of old. Gardens Cornwall has a mild sub-tropical climate due to its geographical location on the edge of the Gulf Stream. The great plant hunters of the previous centuries realised this significant factor and as a result Cornish gardens are today considered some of the best in the world. The Great Gardens of Cornwall, which includes The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan, are now world renowned, with many visiting Cornwall to see them first hand. MORE ON CORNISH GARDENS Coastal and River Walks As a result of its geography Cornwall offers many stunning walks. The South West Coastal Path runs the entire 694km of Cornwall's coastline, offering breath-taking views. There are also over thirty rivers across the county with the Fal, Helford, Camel and Fowey rivers offering some of the best walks. For a special experience why not try one of The Nare's guided walks, or discover the Fal and Helford rivers aboard Alice Rose, the hotel motor launch? MORE ON WALKING IN CORNWALL Historic Churches Cornwall has many beautiful and historic churches with the majority dating back to before the 14th century. They range in size and stature from the stunning Truro cathedral to small chapels dotted across the county. Churches at Veryan, St Just in Roseland, St Mawes and St Anthony in Roseland all lie within easy reach from The Nare. St Just Church is particularly beautiful, surrounded by subtropical gardens and alongside the Fal River. Castles and Forts Cornwall has an array of famous historical sites including St Michael’s Mount, Tintagel Castle, Restormel Castle, St. Catherine’s Castle, St Mawes Castle and Pendennis Castle. The latter two are close to The Nare and examples of coastal artillery fortresses by Henry VIII in the 14th century. They sit either side of the Fal River estuary and together protected the county against invasion from Catholic France and Spain. Art Galleries Cornwall has a rich artistic heritage and is the reason the county boasts so many wonderful art galleries. In 1993, The Tate Gallery of Modern Art in London opened a sister gallery in St Ives to recognise the huge contribution Cornwall has made to modern art. A visit to Penlee House and Newlyn Gallery would cover both old and new art inspired by the Cornish coast. There are also many other less well known but no less impressive art galleries across the county MORE ON CORNISH GALLERIES Stately Homes and Manor Houses Wonderful stately homes can also be found across the county, with two National Trust houses within easy reach of The Nare, those at Lanhydrock Estate and Trelissick Estate. Caerhays Castle, which is actually a private manor home is also nearby. Part of The Great Gardens of Cornwall, Caerhays is the home of the national collection of Magnolias, which are the inspiration behind Cornwall's Spring Story - the moment Cornish Magnolias flower, Spring has arrived in England.
