Cornwall has long been thought of as one of the most beautiful areas England and even Europe has to offer. With its mild maritime climate, golden beaches, quirky independent shops, historic pubs and varied selection of cultural and sports activities, Cornwall really is one of the UK’s favourite holiday destinations. Which is why it makes the perfect location to own your holiday home! If you need a little more convincing, here are 4 reasons you should consider buying a holiday home in Cornwall.
The stunning scenery
No matter when you visit Cornwall, you’re treated to stunning scenery left right and centre. In the summer the sun bounces off the golden stretches of beaches and you can experience crystal clear waters. The winter weather in Cornwall can be summarised as warm, often wet and sometimes wild. And it rarely ever snows. Instead you get gorgeous waves and wintery scenes that you can actually go outside and enjoy without your fingers freezing off! Autumn is a special time of year to visit Cornwall. The autumnal colours bathe the countryside in a golden hue; shifting the entire tone and atmosphere of the Cornish landscape. You’ll definitely want to take your camera out on those Cornish aumun walks. In spring, the flowers get brighter and things get a bit greener which makes for equally as stunning coastal walks.
It’s a tourist’s paradise
The Cornish economy thrives on tourism. Visitor attractions large, small and artisan exist and grow across the county which means if you buy a holiday home in Cornwall you’ll never be bored. Plus, there are certainly some hidden gems left to discover!
The food
The food and drink in Cornwall is truly something to behold. Of course, the famous Cornish pasty can be found here which is something you can enjoy as you walk along many of the beautiful beaches Cornwall has to offer. But Cornish food is so much more than that! With beachside cafes with sandy views, country pubs with roaring fires, or indeed a Michelin starred restaurant. In fact, Cornwall has three:
- Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen – Port Isaac
- Outlaw’s New Road – Port Isaac
- Paul Ainsworth at No6 – Padstow
The best thing about food in Cornwall is that there’s something for everyone – from fresh from the harbour seafood, to homemade ice cream and Cornish cream tea.
