Cornwall

Cornwall extends across a peninsula with 300 miles of varied coastline, white sand beaches, granite cliffs, and medieval fishing villages.

The region supplied tin to Mediterranean civilizations during the Bronze Age, establishing trade routes and becoming a center of mining until the 20th century.

The Cornish language, related to Welsh and Breton, represents the Celtic heritage of the region, with modern efforts to preserve this linguistic tradition.

The South West Coast Path connects multiple beaches, harbors, and towns, allowing visitors to explore the peninsula through marked walking routes.

The Minack Theatre sits carved into the cliffs near Penzance, creating an open-air performance space that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.
