There are so many great places to visit in South Cornwall, planning your trip can be confusing. Let me help you with some of my favourite spots, to add to your itinerary.

In May I went to Devon and Cornwall for a few weeks, before the big rush. As a child I think I visited every year from about 10 to 18, at least once. It was our holiday place. Since then though, I hadn’t been back. I wanted to but exotic, abroad locations just took over.

I’m so glad I made the time to visit somewhere I had so many happy memories from as a child. I did a road trip around Cornwall (and a Devon road trip too) and visited the places in south Cornwall I knew as a child, and a few I’d never even heard before.

1. Walk the Roseland Heritage Coast

The Roseland Heritage Coast is a really beautiful place to visit in Cornwall. I found it to be a bit quieter than the rest, and the scenery as you walk the coast was just incredible. So many beautiful views to enjoy along those paths.

There are a few popular places to visit along the Roseland Heritage Coast – St Mawes, Portscatho and Carne Beach to name just a few. It’s a popular route for walkers, with good reason.
