The hidden places of Cornwall - Peter Long

The stunning county of Cornwall has been called "an isolated beauty that contains some the most dramatic and spectacular scenery in the country". Rugged coastlines surround this striking county which has often been referred to as the 'English Riviera' encompassing pretty fishing ports, secluded scenic villages, narrow winding lanes and strong, romantic seafaring traditions. This is a land of strong Celtic heritage and ancestry, a place that is dotted with monuments such as crosses, holy wells and prehistoric sites and where legends of old still hold their romance amongst the Cornish people.The previous edition received excellent reviews - " the guide will help people find the holiday nooks and crannies which can make a visit to the area such a joy, whatever the weather brings" - Cornish & Devon Post. The book is packed with information covering the more secluded and little known venues for food, drink, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of the region. The new edition includes a very attractive redesigned cover that incorporates an eye-catching photograph of The Old Lifeboat Station In Lizard, Cornwall.
