Cornwall's extensive coastline and hidden coves meant that Cornwall was always a good location for smuggling. Nowadays, those same secluded coves and beaches attract summer visitors in their thousands for lazy days on Cornwall's sands. Cadgwith and Mullion coves are two such popular coves. Tales of buried treasue abound which should keep the children digging in the sand that bit longer.

An enormous leatherback turtle has been spotted in the waters and if you're lucky you may see a dolphin or two.

Although the beaches attract, the countryside in Cornwall is also pleasantly green and unspoilt. Come during late spring for masses of wild flowers.
