Kernow a’gas dynnergh (Welcome to Cornwall)
Cornwall is my home and inspiration. I have walked its cliffs and coves, climbed the backbone of its granite tors, and wandered through fragmented temperate rainforests. White hills and empty engine houses reflect an industrious people and the minerals hidden below. Venture deeper, and places whisper of myths and ancestral lives. It is clear why Cornwall has inspired writers and artists alike, myself included.
Here, the landscape unfolds into paths, inviting exploration, just as its stories and scenery have done for generations. Allow your curiosity to guide you.
The Coast
Cornwall’s predominant boundary is shaped by time and tide. The sea demands awe, for it is both bountiful and dangerous. It is a place of idyllic seaside escapes, but its beauty conceals a history of smuggling and shipwrecks.
The Moor
The gorse-scented path leads towards the granite-topped tors where myth rises like the early morning mist, and the open sky pulses with the murmurations of birds.
Woods and Waterways
Follow trees governed by the elements, mantled in moss and lichen. From the estuaries, follow the riparian ways of rivers and streams to their beginnings inland.
The Settled Land
Follow both ancient and modern roads and trails into settlements and meet the people who call Cornwall their home.
Below Ground
Cornwall’s mineral wealth has been mined and traded since the Bronze Age. Traverse the scarred, industrious landscape above before descending into the dark labyrinth of tunnels below.
Liminal Spaces
Walk the ancient trackways to old churches and stone circles, or be piskie-led where the veil thins and listen to stories of the supernatural beings that also call this land and sea their home.
