Explore Cornwall’s rugged coast, rich history, and legendary tales by rail and foot. This travelogue invites you to ride the Cornish Riviera’s famed trains, stroll cliff paths, and uncover a land famed for its ancient wells, medieval churches, and enduring folklore. Through vivid descriptions of towns from Plymouth to Land’s End, it reveals how railways opened Cornwall to the world and shaped its character as a healthful, scenic retreat.
The book blends travel guidance with local lore, guiding readers to historic sites, coastal villages, and dramatic headlands. You’ll journey through valleys, estuaries, and moorland, meet long-standing communities, and discover a culture that cherishes legends, saints, and architectural relics as much as the sea’s beauty.
