Cornwall (surfing, a tidal island and its own language)
Cornwall is a fairly small county on the southwest tip of England. It relies on tourism, as most homes are now unaffordable due to London second home owners.
Known for its surfing, it also has the right climate to grow everything from tea to wine!
If out walking, follow the Countryside Code to keep all creatures safe (learn how to upright an overturned sheep). Keep dogs away from steep banks, mushrooms, cliffs and toxic plants/trees.
At the coast, keep dogs away from nesting birds and sand dunes. Read how to keep dogs safe by the seaside. Check beach bans before travel.
Amazing beaches!
Not just for surfing, but Cornwall has some of the most stunning beaches on earth. Golden sands and views across the Atlantic ocean. What’s not to love?
Land’s End
This is the most southwesterly tip of England, and just a mile from Sennen Cove. It has dramatic cliffs and wide ocean views, though sometimes criticise charging to have a photo.
One local said they may as well turn you upside down, and jingle the coins out of your pockets!
St Michael’s Mount
This is an historic island just offshore from Marazion. At low tide, a causeway lets you visit the island. Due to lack of shady spaces, dogs are not allowed in warmer weather.
Mousehole
Mousehole (pronounced ‘mowzel’) is just one of the tiny villages that attract locals and tourists. This one has a tiny harbour and suffered a terrible lifeboat tragedy a few years back.
Its own political party
Cornwall has its own political party. Reform UK want to ban, fine and even jail anyone using literature in Cornish. So they will have to all go to prison, as even the party name is Cornish!
