6-Nights England: The Cornwall Coast

Country Walkers

Land’s End may be just ’round the bend, but there’s always room for new discoveries on Cornwall’s bewitching coast.

On Cornwall’s west coast, you’ve found another secret spot. After rambling all morning over grassy bluffs and sandy beaches, you’ve reached the rugged inlet called Prussia Cove. Deep ruts in the rocky shelf bear witness to 18th-century smugglers who once hauled contraband into the sea caves below. For walkers today, it’s just another gorgeous getaway, like the cliffs and picturesque seaside villages you’ve been exploring on this walking tour along the Cornish coast. Continuing past Bessie’s Cove, where birds nest in abandoned fishermen’s cottages, you watch for cavorting seals at Cudden Point. Waves parade in off the Atlantic, and the solitary profile of St. Michael’s Mount beckons on the horizon. Come low tide, you’ll be crossing the cobblestoned causeway to see it up close. Till then, this view will suffice just fine.

Falmouth (Cornwall) Falmouth (Cornwall) Falmouth is a resort and port in south-western England. The harbor is popular with pleasure craft and Falmouth has several boat-building yards and a major ship repair yard. The Pendennis and St Mawes castles face each other across the Roads. They were built by Henry VIII in the 16th century to guard the entrance to the Roads; the protection they offered played an important part in Falmouth's development as a port. Falmouth was one of the most important ports in Great Britain after 1698, when packet ships, fast, heavily armed sloops, sped across the oceans from Falmouth carrying post, royal messages, and bullion to all parts of the world. The packet service brought great prosperity to Falmouth, and the town's fortunes declined when it was transferred to Southampton. However, after the construction of the railway in 1863, Falmouth gained a new lease of life as a resort town.	Destination Guide
