A helpful companion for anyone setting out along Cornwall’s rugged shoreline, this guide blends practical advice with vivid detail. It explains how to choose the right map scale—whether you’re cycling, driving, or walking—and shows where the main roads meet the sea, letting you enjoy the view without getting lost. The author also points out handy spots where leaving the vehicle for a short hike can reveal hidden coves and picturesque villages.
Richly illustrated with photographs of lighthouses, historic churches, and dramatic cliffs, the book brings the coast’s character to life. An introductory chapter offers a clear, accessible look at the region’s geology, describing how the peninsula fits into the broader European landscape. Listeners will come away with a solid sense of both the practical routes and the natural beauty that make Cornwall such a beloved destination.
