With hundreds of sandy beaches, wild moorland and picturesque harbour villages, Cornwall is brimming with places to explore, all relatively close to each other. The pretty peninsula is already home to many of the UK’s key attractions – including the Eden Project, the Minack Theatre and St Michael’s Mount – but there are many more reasons why Cornwall’s star is shining even brighter this year.
New in Newquay for 2016 (and under twenty minutes drive from the airport):
