Cornwall is a popular holiday destination best known for its dramatic coastal scenery and wonderful beaches. In this book, John Husband takes the reader on a tour of the places situated off the well-beaten tourist track, to discover the essence and true character of Cornwall. The coast path takes us to dramatic cliffs, which are ablaze with colour in spring, and the smaller coves and harbours where sustainable fishing still goes on much as it did in the heyday of the local fishing industry. Cornwall's heritage can also be found in the many prehistoric sites dotted across the landscape of the inland moors, surrounded by the remains of the ancient volcanoes which form the tors and crags of Bodmin Moor and West Penwith. More recent remains are found here too, the romantic outlines of ruined engine and winding houses left behind after the mining boom of the 18th and 19th centuries.
