Synopsis

Imagine a Mediterranean-style beach all to yourself – in Britain’s top summer holiday destination, and in the peak summer period. Yes, it really is true. A world away from the crowds of Newquay, St Ives and Looe lie scores of stunninglybeautiful expanses of golden sand that have been completely missed by the guidebooks and brochures. Here lies the real Cornwall, the one that you no longer readily see, the delectable duchy as it was before so much of the easily-accessible parts of the coast became commercialised. Centuries-old fishing harbours off the beaten track, lofty ruins of tin and copper mines, coastal paths lush with tropical vegetation, villages that time forgot, enticing coves hidden beneath soaring slate cliffs, secret surfing spots, ancient chapels and holy wells and a fairytale castle with a secret hidden in its depths. A host of hidden locations is revealed in these pages. Many can be reached by car; others are accessible only on foot, with walks of a mile or less, but in each case, the end result really is worth the effort if you are looking for something truly different. So, forget the big resorts. If visiting Cornwall really means getting away from it all, this perfectly-sized book, packed with beautiful photographs and priceless information, is the one for you.
