This new thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly remains the
only dedicated guide to this perennially popular part of Britain. Offering in-depth exploration
of both frequently visited and less well known destinations that will be of interest as much to
locals as to newcomers it is written in a friendly engaging style and includes up-to-date
listings of the best and sometimes least obvious places to eat drink and sleep appealing to
all budgets. Long popular with discerning travellers Cornwall is now enjoying increased
popularity with the 'Poldark effect' raising awareness of its lovely land- and seascapes to
even greater heights. The region's unique Eden project continues to draw visitors too with
its new attractions such as the Weather Maker Walkway. Few places can offer such geographical
diversity - the rugged storm-lashed north coast and wide sandy beaches favoured by surfers
are rarely more than a few miles from the sheltered creeks and coves and exotic gardens of the
southern coast. Wild moorland is dotted with neolithic standing stones and awe-inspiring relics
of Cornwall's mining heritage. And just 28 miles from Land's End the Isles of Scilly offer an
exhilarating blend of exoticism and wild isolation. Cornwall possesses an enduring appeal as a
holiday destination for visitors of all ages. But with such popularity it's all too easy to
overlook the diverse character of the county and its less obvious destinations. Whether it's
exploring the 'Cornish Alps' or the lonely Rame peninsula a secret beach or a stone circle
lost in wild moorland or discovering where to listen to world-class musicians playing in tiny
rural churches or see where Cornwall's emblematic bird the chough is making a comeback or
finding where oysters are still harvested the traditional way and where the best Cornish
ice-creams pasties and cider are made Bradt's Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is the ideal
companion and an invitation to a rich diverse and hugely enjoyable feast.
