Best places to visit in Cornwall by Condé Nast Traveler, 2025.
Among the must-visit areas featured in Condé Nast’s insider guide is our neighbourhood, the breathtaking Lizard Peninsula — home to dramatic seascapes, rare wildlife, and the southernmost point of mainland Britain.
“Wilder and more raw than Land’s End, The Lizard – about an hour’s drive east – is Britain’s most southerly point. It’s now looked after by The National Trust, which has left the wind-whipped cliffs as natural as can be. Kynance Cove, a favourite of Tennyson’s, is one of the most beautiful places in the UK – pristine white sand and turquoise sea mean this little beach could double for a secret spot in the Caribbean. The mossy cliffs that surround it are blanketed with pastel wildflowers in the summer. Lesser-known Church Cove is just a few bays along: a rocky patch of sand with little rockpools to dip your toes in on sunny days.
With its charming fishing villages, rugged cliffs reminiscent of Poldark, and beaches that could easily be mistaken for the Mediterranean, it’s no surprise Cornwall remains a favourite among travellers.” Condé Nast Traveler, 2025.
