Cornwall: wild coast
5.00
1 review
Cornwall is a region of stunning coastal landscapes — at times it feels like a mix between Portugal and France, but with its own unmistakable British charm. You’ll find everything here: national parks, castles, historic mines, and of course... the beaches! Endless, beautiful beaches. That said, a word of advice: drive carefully and don’t rush. The roads may be scenic, but they’re also narrow and twisty. Take it slow—it’s all part of the adventure.

Day one definitely kept us on our toes. If you’re booking a car, make sure to double-check the company’s terms on their website—because we weren’t so lucky. Turns out, our brand-new driver’s licenses were too new to be accepted. So we had to make a last-minute trip to the airport to rent a car there, even though it was much more expensive. Still, that didn’t ruin our trip in the slightest.
In the end, none of that mattered. One of the most delightful surprises was the drive through . The road itself was gorgeous, winding through wild scenery with ponies casually hanging out like they owned the place. And then came the highlight: a completely unplanned hike around . What we thought would be a quick 20-minute stroll turned into a misty, slightly mysterious hour-and-a-half wander through the fog. I’m pretty sure that place looks amazing no matter the weather—but the rain and mist really turned it into something straight out of a fantasy novel.
