Cornwall Tours with Great British Trips

Introducing Cornwall

The mighty cliffs and crashing wave, the glorious sandy beaches, the wild moorlands and peaceful woodlands make Cornwall one of the favourite UK destinations. Situated in the South West of England, this region has never formally been integrated into England, which is why some still believe that Cornwall is a separate country! It is known to have the strongest national identity in the UK, in fact Cornwall has had an identity distinct from the English for centuries as is evidenced by the existence of the Cornish language as a mother tongue up until the early 19th century. Cornwall has two coastlines: the Atlantic coast famous for its surfing beaches and huge expanses of golden sand, and the English Channel coast which is gentler with hidden coves and tranquil creeks. In fact, 80% of Cornwall is surrounded by water and the region hosts more than 300 beaches! It's no surprise that you will plenty of tourist activities to suit everyone from walking or bird watching to the extremes of kite surfing and coasteering.
