Self Catering in Cornwall

Mid-West Cornwall

Some 150 years ago this part of Cornwall was a heaving industrial centre. No longer throbbing with mining engines and pumps, the area now offers beautiful coves, striking views and a fascinating reminder of the county's past.

Self catering in Cornwall allows you to delve into the county's heritage as you cross rugged scenery that tumble from vast heathland to precipitous cliff-tops peering out to sea. Granite engine houses and mining stacks stand proud on the skyline from coastline to countryside, all part of Cornwall's mining heritage.

Exploration is the main attraction in this part of Cornwall, whether you hire a bike or take a trip from one of the local riding stables you will be able to travel through a landscape that has recovered from its industrial past but is still shaped by it.

Return to your holiday cottage after a day out in the fresh Cornish air. Enjoy a barbecue or sample some of the local food and hospitality before planning the next day’s adventure!
