It's Hot, Hot, Hot!
When super hot temperatures hit Cornwall, the entire coastline comes alive with energy and brilliant blue skies. The absolute best place to be is right down on the golden sand, diving into the Atlantic waves for water sports like surfing and paddleboarding. Don't forget to slap on plenty of high-factor sun cream before spending hours down by the shore. Low tide also brings out classic family traditions like rockpooling and crab catching with a simple line and a bucket.
Locally Craft Fairs
Away from the beaches, Cornwall's vibrant craft fayres offer a fantastic escape from the midday sun while showcasing incredible local talent. You can browse stalls packed with unique Cornish crafts, handmade artwork, scented candles, and tasty artisan goodies. It is the ideal place to chat directly with independent makers and catch yourself a truly homemade souvenir to take home. Keep an eye out for brilliant events like the Makers Cornwall Christmas Fair or the seasonal artisan markets held at venues across the region such as the Eden Project and local community halls.
Autumn is on the way
When the sun starts to dip, heading over to explore the historic harbours in West Cornwall is an absolute must. Quaint fishing ports like Mousehole, Newlyn, and St Ives are packed with cracking local bars, independent cafes, traditional pubs, and world-class seafood restaurants. Whether you are grabbing a pint of real ale overlooking the water or sitting down for a fresh catch of the day at places like the Mackerel Sky Seafood Bar, the harbour-side atmosphere is unmatched.
Go Hiking
As the summer crowds fade out, autumn is coming and Cornwall is the place to spend your autumn. The weather turns crisp, the coastal paths quieten down, and the changing seasonal colors make it the most peaceful time of year to explore the Duchy. It is the ideal period to enjoy slow coastal walks, cosy up by an open fire in a historic pub, and appreciate the true beauty of the South West without the hustle and bustle.
