Cornwall is the southwestern peninsula where England's rolling green hills meet the rugged Atlantic. It is renowned for its long sandy beaches and scenic coastal cliffs. Although having one of the mildest and sunniest climates in the country it is subject to the Atlantic prevailing winds and weather can change rather suddenly. Maritime sports are enjoyed throughout the oceanside communities.

St. Ives is England's best coastal resort - a charming city, with a classic fishing port and many fine galleries, including a branch or the Tates.

At Land's End, you can put England at your back and stare off into the distance - all the way to the New World. Well perhaps that is the Isles of Scilly you are seeing. In any case, it is a memory the kids will cherish.
