Nooks and Corners of Cornwall

A vivid portrait of Cornwall’s lesser‑known valleys, coves and quiet hamlets, this guide invites listeners to wander beyond the dramatic cliffs and famous landmarks. It paints the landscape as a patchwork of semi‑tropical gardens, stone‑capped tors and hidden bays, while also revealing the subtle charms of villages where flowering shrubs cling to centuries‑old cottages. Along the way, the narrator shares practical advice on navigating the rugged coast, warning of unsafe bathing spots, sudden blow‑holes and the scarcity of inns in some remote settlements.

Interwoven with the natural beauty are stories of ancient peoples, forgotten creeds and the early Christian saints who repurposed standing stones into crosses and modest churches. The book brings to life the resilient, often non‑conformist spirit of the Cornish folk, their ties to tin mining and the rhythms of a community that balances tradition with the pressures of modern change. Listeners will come away with a deeper appreciation for the “nooks and corners” that make Cornwall a place worth revisiting again and again.
