Follow the Cornwall Art Trail

Written by Jason Jacobson

Everybody wants to take a break at a price they can afford, and relax in peaceful country surroundings, enjoy wide open spaces, the sea, secluded coves and picturesque towns and villages. Artists in Cornwall have a field day in the peninsula county of England because between the granite cliffs and the busy harbours, they open our doors to the beauty of Cornwall. Kurt Jackson is a contemporary Cornwall artist with experience in environments and cultures. He uses a range of materials and techniques to present us with inspired works of art depicting the endless beauty of Cornwall.

Landscape painting cornwal artist

There are heaps of talented artists in Cornwall who sell their art work locally, and the thriving art scene in Cornwall inspires visitors to the area to visit art galleries and even book an art lesson or two. In the heart of vibrant arty Cornwall, there is always plenty of excellent accommodation where you can wander to the beach, where the kids are amused and which are well situated for doing the art route.

Art on the Doorstep of Endless Beauty

Cornwall artists love the Penberth Valley as this area alone provides plenty of inspiration for art, with the beautiful Penberth Cove which is a tiny fishing hamlet. The valley is the perfect setting for a Cornwall artist where natural treasures abound. Amanda Richardson is a Cornish painter with a BA honours degree in fine art textiles and she creates magnificent textile collages. You can see her art in her studio in the Penberth Valley complete with a lustrous garden which inspires a lot of her work. Visitors are welcome by appointment.

For anybody wanting to find out more about artists in Cornwall from the past, the Internet is a hive of information where you can glean fascinating information on the way art has evolved in this area, and books, archival material and photographic collections will take you on a fascinating trip from art beginnings to the present day.
Centres for Arts and Creativity

North Cornwal, just like the Western part, is fast becoming a vibrant art center and you can visit a Cornish painter, potter or sculptor directly or you can visit the many new art galleries which exhibit the works of rising Cornwall artists.Cornwall art trails are a fantastic way to be introduced to the art world while being able to take in magnificent views of the sparkling sea and landscapes as you walk or cycle the coastal footpath. Most of the Cornwall artist galleries are open every day, displaying an exquisite medley of works from select artists.

Towns Steeped in the Legends of Great Cornwall Artists

St Ives in West Cornwall is renowned as an artist colony and attracts multitudes of holiday makers every day of the year. The art town lies on the coast of the Celtic Sea and is a hugely popular holiday resort. A BBC film, The Art of Cornwall, claims that St Ives’ artists ‘produce some of the most exhilarating art of the twentieth century…this place was as famous as Paris, as exciting as New York and infinitely more progressive than London.’

Today St Ives with its well known Godrevy Lighthouse, its lovely old granite cottages and quaint cobbled streets, is a major centre of British art. The lighting is conducive to landscape art and the St Ives Tate Gallery offers exhibitions of some of these inspired works. Why don’t you pay a visit to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden in this town? It was bought by Barbara in 1949, and the studio, known as Trewyn Studio as well as her workshop still has all her tools and the materials she used when living there.

Penzance is another town where you can literally feel the pulse of its exciting art history. The town hosts exciting exhibitions, making use of drawings, photography, paintings and artefacts to ‘tell’ the stories of prominent artists who were central to the town’s formation. Art lovers will love the Penlee Gallery and Museum, and a walk long the promenade and in the area of the harbour offers lots of fascinating places to enjoy some refreshments. Penzance Promenade was the subject of a famous painting by Newlyn School artist Norman Garstin, known as ‘The Rain it Raineth Every Day’.

Falmouth on the southwest point of the Cornish coast has a large natural harbour, and its spectacular coastal backdrop and its 16th century castle have been the inspiration of artists for centuries. Artists and holidaymakers always go to the tip of the headland where there are splendid views of the town’s regular regattas. The Falmouth College of Art, founded in 1902, still teaches visual arts today. It offers several superb courses which attract students from far and wide who want to benefit from the creative excellence at the college.

Best Sea Views in Cornwall

Written by Jason Jacobson

Bedruthan Steps

Cornwall has some of the best sea views in the UK, if not the world. The range of coastal scenery is simply stunning. From harbour views to beach vistas to cliff-top panoramas, visitors to Cornwall are spoilt for choice on spectacular places to take in the wonderful landscapes. Here are some of our favourite sea views in Cornwall.

Lands End

It maybe a little cliched but Land’s End offers amazing sea views along the Cornish coast and out into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s here that visitors can see the famous signpost showing distances to destinations throughout the world. And it does feel like the jumping off point to somewhere else – it’s right down in the far west of Cornwall at the very outer edge of the British Isles. On a clear day you can see the Isles Of Scilly in the distance.

Lizard Point

Land’s End may be the country’s most famous promontory but Lizard point is the most southerly point in mainland Britain. It’s not as flashy as Lands End, but the scenery here is spectacular. The cliffs steep, high and contorted into wonderful caves and outcrops. You can visit the working lighthouse here which helps to keep the busy shipping channel safe. There are some great walks along the coast to Kynance Cove or Cadgwith and if you’re lucky you may see the elusive Chough – the rare Cornish bird that is only seen in this area.

St Ives Harbour

The popular seaside town of St Ives is bathed in beautiful light due to its unique position jutting out into the ocean. From the fishing harbour in St Ives tou can gaze out across the bay towards Godrevy lighthouse and Cornwall’s north coast. It’s a wondersful spot for watching the tide come in and out; or people watching on the quay as tourists stop by the shops, galleries and restaurants.

Chapel Porth

This National Trust beach lies at the centre of a deep valley between St Agnes and Portreath. Take the footpath north out of the car park and you pass the remains of an old mining engine house, which provides an interesting foreground to the scenery of high cliffs and deep blue sea.

Droskyn’s Point

A road leads up from Perranporth to this viewpoint with sweeping over the beach and dunes. It’s an exposed but exhilarating spot where you can take in the vastness of the Cornish coastline.

Bedruthan Steps

Just north of Newquay is the dramatic Bedruthan Steps – a series of rock formations cut off from the suroounding cliffs and pounded by the roaring seas. legend has it that the giant Bedruthan used the outcrops as stepping stones, hence its names. There’s a great National Trust tearoom here where you can get refreshments after your walk to see this natural attraction.

 Stepper Point

This big headland sits at the mouth of the Camel estuary just a short distance away from Padstow. There is a coastguard watch tower here to watch over the fishing boats coming in and out of the harbour. It’s a high vantage point for views up and down the coast, across to Polzeath and down the Camel Estuary.

St Mawes Castle

Situated at the end of the rugged Roseland peninsula, St Mawes castle is an old sentry watching over the entrance to the Fal estuary. The castle is great place to watch the boats come and go and soak up the atmosphere in this sleepy corner of Cornwall. Or you could head into St Mawes and take in the scenery around the harbour or enjoy one of the bakery’s famous pasties.

Sea View Accommodation in Cornwall

While you may not be able to stay at most of the beauty spots mentioned in this article, Cornwall has many great places to stay at or near the coast. Sea view cottages Cornwall provide a great base to admire the coast and explore all that Cornwall has to offer.

Where to to Stay in Cornwall

Written by Jason Jacobson

Cornwall is a BIG place. It is the UK’s second biggest county behind Yorkshire. It is also very long and thin with many different nooks and crannies to explore. But with a county that is so full of spectacular scenery and wonderful places to visit, where exactly should you stay during your holiday in Cornwall. In this guide I recommend my personal list of the six great places to stay in Cornwall.

Newquay

Perhaps Cornwall’s best known holiday resort, Newquay is a superb place to base yourself while in Cornwall. There are loads of beaches to explore, including the world famous Fistral Beach. It is a small harbour town with many fine shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs. The sport of surfing dominates this town and the high street is lined with surf shops and surf schools offering to take you out for surfing lessons. Newquay and surrounding villages such as Porth, Crantock, Holywell Bay and Perranporth are great destinations for fantastic self-catering holidays in Cornwall. There is also a wide choice of hotels, bed and breakfasts and campsites in and around Newquay, where you can relax and enjoy all that Newquay and the surrounding area has to offer.

Mousehole

This small fishing village in the far west of the country, is one of Cornwall’s best kept secrets. The village has characterful cottages and cobbled streets, nestled around a horseshoe shaped harbour with direct access to the sea. St Michael’s Mount is a prominent landmark visible across Penzance bay. The coast path goes straight through the village and continues along the rocky shore all the way around past Porthcurno to Land’s End. The beaches nearby are generally calm and sheltered from the big swells and westerly winds, which makes the area great for family holidays. There are numerous places to stay in the area including Mousehole cottages, picturesque campsites and seaview hotels. You’ll be spoilt for choice in this Cornish hidden gem.

Bude

Bude is located at the upper end of Cornwall near the Devon border and has its own distinct culture and character. Bude itself is a pretty little town situated beside a historic canal and home to several beaches including the immensely popular Summerleaze beach which is packed with holidaymakers in the summer. It’s still old-fashioned in many ways, with a bucket and spade holiday atmosphere mixing with new trendy shops. There are loads of places to visit nearby, and the coastal path near Bude offers some of the best scenery in  the county. When looking for places to stay, try and find some self-catering options in the villages outside Bude. Here you will find many Cornwall cottages, lodges and apartments where you can base yourself for an exciting holiday in the area.

Sennen

This small fishing village near land’s End is about as far as you can go in mainland Britain before dropping off into the sea. This really is a remote, wonderful place to base yourself for a summer holiday; especially if you are here for longer than a week as it justifies the long trip to get here. This is proper old Cornwall, with a thriving fishing community, unspoiled scenery and a pace of life which is a few beats behind the rest of the nation. It really is a place where you can slow down, take in the atmosphere and enjoy a wonderful holiday by the sea without any distractions. Land’s End is just down the road. St Ives and Penzance are also nearby and worth a visit. Again you have a wide choice of cottages, hotels and campsites to choose from for your holiday accommodation options.

St Ives

This is cultural capital of Cornwall. Set around an extremely pretty fishing harbour, St Ives also has a rich artistic history. In the last century many painters flocked to Cornwall and especially to St Ives because of the wonderful natural light and sea vistas. There are still many fantastic artists based in the town and there are some wonderful galleries where you can admire and perhaps even buy these fantastic works of art. Because of the artistic heritage, the Tate organisation built one of their four major art galleries here. St Ives is a lively place to stay. There is always something going on. I’d recommend staying in one of the sea front hotels, but there are also many guest houses and campsites in or near the town.

Bodmin

Not a natural choice for holidaymakers, but Bodmin and the surrounding villages offer a holiday experience very different to the usual stays on the Cornwall coast. From here you have close access to the wonderful rugged scenery of Bodmin Moor plus walking and mountain biking trails at Cardinham Woods. Plus it’s very close for visits to the Eden project. Campsites, hotels and campsites are quieter and more relaxing here than busy places by the sea.

Falmouth

On Cornwall’s south coast, Falmouth boasts one of the biggest and deepest harbours in the word for big boats and ships. Therefore it has a rich maritime heritage, including working dockyards and old pubs you can imagine being there sine ye olde smuggling days. But the town has been updated with many new cafes, pubs and shops to explore. There are some great beaches nearby, including Swanpool and Gyllanvase beaches. Book your accommodation early, especially in summer as it can get very packed here.

Being a Tourist in Fowey

Written by Jason Jacobson

The best thing about visiting Cornwall is exploring all the wonderful places it has to offer. Many people straight head to the beach or for a stroll along the coast. But sometimes it’s attractive to visit some of the many towns and villages which have played a part in Cornwall’s unique history for centuries. One such town is Fowey on the south coast of Cornwall, between the other two holiday hotspots of St Austell and Looe.

Fowey is a fantastic place to visit and is served well by “The Official Tourism Website for Fowey and the Fowey Estuary”: www.fowey.co.uk. This website is central to the success of all of the tourism businesses in the town. It is a central portal for potential holidaymakers to thoroughly research their trip to Fowey and the surrounding area.

Fowey_co_uk_-_Official_Tourism_Site_for_the_Fowey_Estuary

It is packed to the gills with information on trully outstanding places to stay, including catered and self-catering accommodation with superb sea views. These include luxury hotels, budget B&Bs and picturesque Fowey cottages which offer a chance to stay close to the town centre and also near the water, while catching a glimpse of the way of life in this historically important Cornish town. The team at fowey.co.uk also offer a bed booking service to holidaymakers looking for the best places to stay for their individual tastes and budgets.

Fowey sits opposite the village of Polruan, across the mouth of the Fowey River, connected by a regular passenger ferry. Fowey has been an important sea port for centuries, prominent in the transportation of precious materials such as tin and clay, as well as doing its part for defence in both world wars.

This lovely town and the estuary has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As such this natural harbour is a haven for yachtsmen and sailors who visit in the droves all year round.

The website also features a wide range of activities in the area – many are water sports, including boat trips, kayaking, watersports and fishing.

Located near Hayle, Godrevy Café is perched at the edge of sand dunes overlooking one of Cornwall’s best surfing beaches. Its fitting in this natural environment, that the Café is constructed entirely out of wood. Yet it is warm and cosy inside offering a great retreat to warm up with a cup of coffee after a stroll on the beach. This friendly café is favoured by the locals not only for its good food but the reasonable prices on offer. A seat at the top deck offers one the opportunity to enjoy stunning views of grassy sand dunes. With generous hearty breakfasts and delicious Mexican wraps, a stroll along the beach afterwards provides one the opportunity to drink in a clear and open view of the sea.

Swanpool Beach Café

This tiny beach café has so much more to offer than most people presume; the outdoor seating on the deck is as close to the sea as it is to the road. The homemade food is not only lovely but affordable, complimented by hot drinks and a diverse offering of ice cream, making it perfect for every season.

With a growing reputation as one of the best gourmet burger restaurants in Cornwall, this Padstow restaurant is in a league of its own and well worth a visit to refuel after an energetic day on the beach. Not exactly on the beach, but its seaside setting in the heart of Padstow and laid, back trendy atmosphere make it a welcome addition to this list of Cornwall’s best beach Cafés. This diner specialises in gourmet burgers, as well as scrumptious fish dishes.

Porthmeor Beach Café

You haven’t seen St Ives until you have visited Porthmeor Beach. The café here offers a wide range of very delicious food items, this including breakfast and lunch; the juice bar is even more impressive. The freshly pressed juices and smoothies can fend off even the most powerful hangover, a refreshing treat to accompany one on their stroll across the beach. Or just sit back and admire the view of surfers riding the waves.

Gylly Beach Café

This café is located on Gyllanvase Beach in Falmouth and is a favourite for visiting tourists, as well as being a hangout for students from the local Falmouth College of Art. The decor is designed to meet the expectations of the young and trendy, while serving high quality food to match the superior sea views from this beachside eatery. Gylly will accommodate the needs of the young and the old, individuals and families, even visitors both foreign and local.

Kynance Café

Located on the Lizard peninsula, Kynance is a great hangout no matter the time of year. With a turquoise sea, sandy beach and caves to explore, there is a mysterious air surrounding the rocky headlands on either side of the cove. The National Trust Car Park and its environmentally friendly café are just behind the beach. The café is well known for its wide selection of cakes and coffees which can brighten up even the dreariest days at this spot close to the southernmost tip of the British Isles.

The Cabin Café

The Cabin Café is a little known gem on Cornwall’s south coast. It is often recommended because of how friendly and welcoming it has proven to be. Opening all year round and located above the beach at Perranuthnoe, the café provides homemade food and drinks throughout the day, with many gluten-free options. The fact that it welcomes dogs, or at least the well behaved type, is an added advantage for those out for a walk on this lovely stretch of coast.

Guide to the Must-See Locations in Cornwall

Written by Jason Jacobson

Fowey Cornwall

It’s a question that often gets asked, especially for people in Cornwall on holiday with limited time. What are Cornwall’s must-see locations? You see, Cornwall offers so much to many people you could spend months exploring this fine county and only really scrape the surface. The rugged coastline conceals all sorts of hidden gems in the form of beaches, coves and quaint little fishing villages. But the interior of Cornwall is not to be sniffed at. From its quietly undulating countryside to thick forests to remote moors laced with rivers, Cornwall is a dramatic country begging to be explored. Here is our list of must-see locations.

St Michael’s Mount

St Michael’s Mount  is an imposing sight just off the coast from Marazion. This tiny island just appears to spring out of the water and is topped by a castle which has view all around the surrounding seascape. It’s possible to walk to the island at low tide along a cobbled causeway. But at high tide St Michael’s Mount can only be reached on the back of a raised trailer drawn by a tractor. It’s possible to explore the rooms of the castle and wonder around the grounds admiring the gardens and the views. There are loads of great places to stay nearby including hotels and pubs.

The Lizard

The Lizard is the most southerly part of mainland Britain, even further south than better known Land’s End. But unlike its famous cousin, Lizard Point is quiet and natural. The land simply falls off into the Atlantic here and as such is a popular spot for resting sea birds, including the elusive Cornish Chough. Strolling along the coast path around the Lizard the miracle of nature is all around you especially when the sea is pounding the rocks below. Nearby Lizard village has some great pubs, cafes and Cornish pasty shops. It also has some interesting accommodation options, including Henry’s campsite – a laid back camping venue for tents and caravans.

Fowey Estuary

The Fowey River starts as a trickle atop Bodmin Moor and steadily grows as it flows don hill towards the sea. It meets the sea at Fowey, a prate fishing town on the banks of the mighty Fowey estuary. It has been a safe-harbour for sailors and ships for centuries, and was said to be a key trading port for legitimate business as well as the notorious smugglers. This colourful history is reflected in the houses, pubs and upbeat atmosphere of the town. But the main draw here is the scenery across the water, which can be explored by boat, kayak or on foot. This town is a major holiday destination and there are many Fowey cottages to accommodate the many thousands of tourists who flock here in the summer months.

Bedruthan Steps

Otherwise known as Carnevas, this North Coast beach is home to the ‘Steps’ which are a series of huge rocks cut adrift from the surrounding cliffs. Legend has it that these were the stepping stones of Cornish giants. The natural splendour of this beauty spot means it is a regularly visited by coach loads of tourists and is one of Cornwall’s photography hotspots. It’s possible to walk down steep steps to the beach to explore the landscape and rock pools of Bedruthan Steps Beach. There are some lovely hotels nearby, including The Scarlet, Bed Steps Hotel and the Bedruthan Inn just across from the National Trust car park. There are is also a great choice of self-catering accommodation in Mawgan Porth and Porthcothan.

Rough Tor

One of the most mystical destinations in Cornwall, Rough Tor is the stuff of Arthurian legend. This steep hill topped by granite tors and fantastic rock formations is a great adventure playground for families. Walking around, through or climbing up the rocks offers great views across the whole of Cornwall. In fact it is one of the highest points in the Cornish peninsula, with neighbouring hill Brown Willy taking the title of Cornwall’s highest mountain. There’s not much accommodation here. It’s pretty remote. For places to stay you’ll need to head downhill to Wadebridge, Camelford or Tinagel.
