The Best Places of CORNWALL in the UK

Cornwall, I have never heard about this place, but the bottom part of England is a gem in the United Kingdom. The land has a unique culture, natural beauty, and the place has a medieval architectural house and castle. Most of the travellers come to the UK for exploration of London, Manchester, Liverpool or Edinburgh, but they do not reach this admirable place of southern England, which has a unique identity and topography.

Cornwall is a county which is located south most parts of England. Cornwall is 5 hours away from London. Cornwall has one of the biggest coastlines among all counties in the UK, as well Cornwall has hundreds of sandy beaches. Cornwall is well connected with road networks and flights, but I am not sure about train connectivity. Cornwall belongs to Cornish people, which is totally dissimilar from other counties of the UK, the history of Cornish people, the Cornish language, culture and migration are subject to research, but this culture has gone through a transformation in the last few centuries, however, the Cornish culture still survives, and it is under preservation of government programme.​Under the Cornish culture and during the medieval time, houses and religious buildings built, which are spectacular, and the villages and old towns give a brief idea of its culture, settlement and survival. existing villages and towns are the main attractions in the county, but God has also given a great natural gift to this county. sandy beaches, cliffs, mines, beautiful roads and a coastal path trek will impress you.

My Itinerary :  

I had planned four days and three night,  but unfortunately, it was not enough to cover Cornwall, however, I had tried to cover important towns, villages and monuments.Day 1 : Tintagel village, castle, coastal path trek and Boscastle villageDay 2 : Wheal Coates mines, St Ives, Coastal path trekDay 3 : St Michael's Mount, Penzance town and Minack TheatreDay 4 : Falmouth Marine Museum and Eden Project

Transportation : 

The car is the best medium to visit all places in Cornwall, the reasons behind this suggestion are most places are that away from the nearest railway station or bus station. If you drive the car to tourist places or monuments, you will be able to cover places quickly and easily. 

ROAD TRIP :

When you pass through the road network of Cornwall, you will see the most incredible natural beauty, lush vegetation, green fields, and flowers beside the roads will rejuvenate your heart and mind. In Cornwall's countryside, most roads are narrow but enormously beautiful.

If you take the car, then this is the most convenient mode of transportation to reach different villages, towns, beaches, and monuments. Cornwall is best known for its natural beauty, which you can see everywhere. So, if you see any picturesque place on your way, you can stop and spend time, and this is a positive point of the road trip.

TRAIN AND BUS :

The beautiful route of the train to Cornwall will take you to the fields, mountains, tunnels, rivers and seaside. By train, you will experience the best time in the travel to see the most amazing countryside beauty of Cornwall, as well as the UK.

Most of the places in Cornwall is well connected with the train network, or at some stations, you will need to change trains for the main destination, and for inner tourist attractions you need to take a taxi or bus, however, bus networks are not good for the many tourist destinations, so take a schedule of bus before travel to any tourist attraction.

CYCLING:

The best way to explore Cornwall is by cycling. if you don't have a car, then carry a foldable cycle with you. However, your cycle trip to different places in Cornwall depends on your durability and strength, but I am sure that cycling will be the best experience for this trip.
