Cornish Riviera
An earthly paradise, close to the heart of Cornwall, where wooded hills drop down to a lush, sub-tropical coastline of broad bays and garden coves, busy estuaries and time warped fishing villages.
The Cornish Riviera is as old as its legends and as young as its latest watersports. A place where you can swim, ride, sail or fish; play golf and attend a Druidic festival – in a single day.
It is defined by a series of broad bays sweeping round from the Roseland Peninsula, past Caerhays Castle and Dodman Point to Gorran Haven and the picture postcard fishing village of Mevagissey.
On it goes, following the curve of St Austell Bay and the South West Coast Path to the miniature china clay port of Charlestown and the dramatic clay “Alps” between St Austell and Par before finally rounding the Gribben at the mouth of Fowey’s famous estuary and winding up to Lostwithiel, Cornwall’s ancient former capital.
A riviera of great beauty and diversity, and for breaks and holidays, an inspiration.
