Visit Cornwall

Cornwall History

Cornwall history offers a collection of Bronze Age hut circles, Iron Age hill forts and nineteenth century tin and copper workings. Wherever you are just a small walk across the nearest moor or coastal path will demonstrate over 5000 years of Cornwall history, with the added bonus of a stunning landscape. In the capital, Truro, comes the Royal Cornwall Museum with everything from magnificent displays to regular talks, workshops and family events. Sadly, not all Cornwall history can fit under one roof so there are a number of local museums dotted around Cornwall, just like the Charlestown shipwrecked and heritage centre in St Austell and the Geevor tin mine heritage centre in Pendeen. Even make your stay more interesting by visiting Cornwall online and picking your own thirteenth century farm cottage or a Victorian manor house so you can stay in your own piece of Cornwall history.

Accommodation in Cornwall

Cornwall hotels also offer fantastic deals and experiences with a surrounding coastline that will blow you away. The local towns and villages will provide you with a historic and pleasurable experience with regular markets and activities for all the family to enjoy. The height of Cornwall hotels can be found at the Old Quay House hotel in Fowey where you will enjoy their five start service, excellent food and the pleasures Falmouth has to offer. For a stay further West, why not try the Old Coast Guard Hotel in Mousehole (Penzance) which is ideally placed to take advantage of the West Cornwall Coastline including St Michael’s Mount near Penzance and Lands End. For a cheaper, but by no means poorer overnight stay, try the Greenbank Hotel in Falmouth that is within walking distance of National Maritime Museum.

Bodmin Moor

Bodmin Moor has been made famous by its unspoilt landscape and the Bodmin Beast. Legend has it that there was a big black panther that would prowl around after sheep. Don’t let that scare you though because Bodmin moor offers a fantastic range of practical accommodation. With the north and south costs within driving distance, you can make the most out of your holiday. Visit www.bobm.info who will help you to plan your holiday.
