Overview

Imagine a Mediterranean-style beach all to yourself - in Britain's top summerholiday destination, and in the peak summer period. Yes, it really is true. A worldaway from the crowds of Newquay, St Ives and Looe lie scores of stunninglybeautifulexpanses of golden sand that have been completely missed by theguidebooks and brochures.Here lies the real Cornwall, the one that you no longer readily see, the delectableduchy as it was before so much of the easily-accessible parts of the coastbecame commercialised.Centuries-old fishing harbours off the beaten track, lofty ruins of tin and coppermines, coastal paths lush with tropical vegetation, villages that time forgot,enticing coves hidden beneath soaring slate cliffs, secret surfing spots, ancientchapels and holy wells and a fairytale castle with a secret hidden in its depths.A host of hidden locations is revealed in these pages. Many can be reached bycar; others are accessible only on foot, with walks of a mile or less, but in eachcase, the end result really is worth the effort if you are looking for something trulydifferent.So, forget the big resorts. If visiting Cornwall really means getting away from itall, this perfectly-sized book, packed with beautiful photographs and pricelessinformation, is the one for you.
