South COAST Stretching from Rame Head to the Helford River, the South Coast of Cornwall is a tranquil blend of lush green countryside and a pretty coastline, scattered with hidden bays, traditional fishing villages and exotic gardens. SOUTH COAST Crossing the border into Cornwall, you’ll find the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand as the Tamar River meets the sea. The calm waters here are perfect for sailing and windsurfing and offer some of the best dive sites in the UK. Nearby is the wide golden expanse of Whitsand Bay, ideal for surfers and day-trippers alike. The working port of Looe is just the place to buy freshly caught fish, as well as enjoy the mix of shops and eateries dotted around the town. Further along, wonder the traffic-free, narrow streets of Polperro towards the small harbour to admire the fisherman’s cottages, sail lofts and shops selling local crafts and treats. Take the Bodinnick Ferry across the Fowey River to the town of Fowey with its upmarket shops, trendy cafés and wonderful harbour. Upstream, hidden in a magical woodland setting, the village of Lerryn is said to have been the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame’s book, “The Wind in the Willows”. At the ancient town of Lostwithiel, once the capital of Cornwall, is a striking 12th Century castle built for Edward the Black Prince. The tall ships and rows of 18th Century cottages in Charlestown give a glimpse of a bygone era, while at Mevagissey, beyond St Austell and the ever-popular Eden Project, a scenic boat trip allows access to the hidden coves once used by smugglers. Stretching along the river on the immense Fal Estuary, St Mawes is a peaceful place to visit. Hard then to imagine that Henry VIII built its castle to protect against invasions from the sea! Take to the water on board one of the many ferries that cross the estuary and keep a look out for a multitude of wildlife. The climate is so mild here that tea bushes flourish a few miles away at the Tregothnan Estate. Truro, at the head of the River Fal, showcases fine examples of Cornish architecture, such as the 19th Century Neo-Gothic cathedral, as well as many Victorian and Georgian buildings. Tempting boutiques, fine restaurants and fashionable bars make the city a shopper’s paradise. 01872 261735 visitcornwall.com 37
