6-Nights England: The Cornwall Coast — CALL

Land’s End may be just ’round the bend, but there’s always room for new discoveries on Cornwall’s bewitching coast.

On Cornwall’s west coast, you’ve found another secret spot. After rambling all morning over grassy bluffs and sandy beaches, you’ve reached the rugged inlet called Prussia Cove. Deep ruts in the rocky shelf bear witness to 18th-century smugglers who once hauled contraband into the sea caves below. For walkers today, it’s just another gorgeous getaway, like the cliffs and picturesque seaside villages you’ve been exploring on this walking tour along the Cornish coast. Continuing past Bessie’s Cove, where birds nest in abandoned fishermen’s cottages, you watch for cavorting seals at Cudden Point. Waves parade in off the Atlantic, and the solitary profile of St. Michael’s Mount beckons on the horizon. Come low tide, you’ll be crossing the cobblestoned causeway to see it up close. Till then, this view will suffice just fine.
