On the south-western tip of the UK lies the stunning county of Cornwall. With its own language, food, and rich collection of folklore, Cornwall is the hidden gem of the UK, set in a rugged landscape of wild moors, dramatic coastlines, beaches and castles. About a five-hour train journey from London Paddington, it makes for the perfect summer getaway or multi-day excursion as part of a longer UK trip. Whether you're a history buff keen to explore the ancient monuments scattered across the moors, or an avid reader who grew up on the stories of Enid Blyton, Cornwall has it all.
