| WHY GO |
| With its mild climate, breathtaking scenery and long stretches of sandy beach, Cornwall, located on the far western tip of England, has long been one of Britain's most popular summer holiday destinations. In recent years, the county's newfound sense of style has brought with it an influx of chic and contemporary hotels, boutique shops, trendy bars and fine restaurants, including a number of Rick Stein establishments (Seafood Restaurant, Fish and Chip shop and café) in Padstow, now nicknamed Padstein, making it an instant rival to the continent's Mediterranean coast. Surfing and kite surfing are amongst the most popular watersports, while the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum attract an arty crowd. The Eden Project opened in 2000 and is still a huge draw as are the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the many miles of scenic coastal walks. |
