Description

Step into the rugged beauty of England's southwestern tip as this guide leads you along craggy cliffs, golden beaches, and mist‑veiled moors. It brings to life iconic sites such as St Michael's Mount and Tintagel Castle, as well as the quiet charm of fishing villages like St Ives and Polperro, while showing how centuries‑old mining and china‑clay quarries have shaped the landscape.

The book is enriched with topographical and geological maps that let listeners trace Cornwall’s natural contours, and dozens of photographs capture everything from the delicate Cheesewring formation to bustling pilchard boats in Mevagissey. Clear, conversational explanations of rainfall patterns, rock types, and historic landmarks make the region’s complex geography easy to follow.

Designed as a portable tour, the narration invites you to imagine strolling along the Camel River, hearing the call of seabirds at Land’s End, or exploring ancient stone circles, offering a vivid, illustrated journey through Cornwall’s enduring spirit.

Best known for writing the hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers," this remarkably versatile Victorian author also collected folk songs, wrote novels and legends, and ranged widely across history, folklore, and religion.
