West Cornwall is the most remote part of Cornwall but is well worth a visit for some
spectacular coastal scenery and many attractive seaside towns and villages. With a multitude of hotels, villas, activities and cheap package holidays available, Cornwall is
a great place to visit all year round.

There are excellent beaches too, with miles of sand at Mounts Bay in the South and Hayle Sands on the North Coast. There are also a number of secluded sandy coves such as Porthcurno and Lamorna Cove. For surfers there are excellent surfing beaches at Sennen Cove and Hayle.

The scenery is outstanding with excellent walking around Lands End, Godrevy and Prussia Cove.

The region is best approached on the A30 trunk road, which leads all the way through Cornwall right down to Lands End. Note that the A30 can get quite congested at the height of the summer.
