In contrast to the North Coast, in the South you’ll find<br />
a gentler coastline with a mild, oceanic climate that<br />
supports lush, subtropical gardens. Explore the scenic<br />
estuaries of Helford, the Fowey and the Fal, as well as<br />
the pretty villages and harbours of Looe, Polperro and<br />
Mevagissey. <strong>The</strong> beautiful stretches of white sand at<br />
Whitsand, Gerrans and St Austell are great for seaside<br />
walks or a day at the beach, while the bustling waterfront<br />
communities of Falmouth and Fowey have much on offer.<br />

In ruggedly beautiful scenery, discover craggy tors,<br />
standing stones, expanses of heather moorland,<br />
medieval farms and moorland villages. This designated<br />
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty truly is a walkers’<br />
paradise. By contrast, the Tamar Valley, now part of the<br />
World Heritage Site, is a wide wooded valley, rich in history<br />
and a haven for wildlife. Four ancient towns – Launceston,<br />
Tavistock, Callington and Saltash – can be found along the<br />
valley, as well as many historic houses and disused mines.<br />
