St Just
There's a distinctly frontier' feel about St Just; clinging to the edge of the country and the first to catch any weather heading our way, the village has a cheerful we're all in this together' atmosphere.

Mousehole
This cosy village is awash with myth and legend; it would seem that most fairytales concerning Cornwall feature Mousehole. The Christmas lights here draw people from the four corners.

Sennen
Sennen is the most westerly village in England, and Whitesand Bay is a mile long stretch of golden sand, with plenty of rock pools at low tide. Small boats still fish from the cove using traditional lobster pots and handlines. If you're lucky you might be able to pick up some handline caught bass or mackerel fresh off the boat. Dogs are allowed during the quieter months but it's adviseable to check as regulations differ from beach to beach.

Lamorna Cove
Just 6 miles from Penzance, Lamorna Cove could be in a different country. This tiny quayside village is some way off the beaten track and has all the atmosphere of a Cornwall long gone. Found at the end of a deep, heavily wooded valley, Lamorna has long been a popular haunt for artists. Divers are drawn to the clear waters here, while those seeking a tranquil spot to enjoy the coastline will find that lovely, unspoilt Lamorna is just what they've been looking for. Take car if you park in the car park as the area is monitored.
