Lush wooded valleys, wild gorse-
There are nine areas of woodlands within the Penwith peninsula and the entire region has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are in fact 12 separate geographical AONBs covering nearly 1000 square miles in the county, and some of Cornwall’s mining landscape has been given UNESCO world heritage status.
Cornwall’s ancient Celtic landscape is adorned with a legacy of prehistoric and historic remains, from foguos, quiots, barrows, stone circles, celtic crosses and holy wells to medieval castles and chapels. The mines, engine houses, foundries and quarries from the 18th and 19th centuries are haunting reminders of Cornwall’s industrial heritage.
There is an array of stately homes, historic houses and estates to visit. Some of our nearest are Prideaux Place, Godolphin house and St Michael’s Mount. Further afield are Lanhydrock, Cotehele and Antony amongst many others. There are curious and quirky museums such as Boscastle’s Museum of Witchcraft, Charlestown Shipwreck collection, Zennor’s Folk Museum and Penzance’s History of Lighthouses
