Cornwall is renowned for its fishing industry. Cadgewith Cove, located on the stunning Lizard Peninsula, features a charming traditional harbor to explore. Nearby, Kynance Cove boasts a picturesque beach with turquoise waters and dramatic rocky outcrops.
We will also take photographs of Godrevy Lighthouse from beautiful Gwithian Beach, which offers a rocky foreground and breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.
St Michael’s Mount
Cornwall’s Wild Tin Coast
We will visit some of the region’s most renowned locations, including the dramatically positioned Botallack tin mines, which played a pivotal role during the industrial revolution in Cornwall, where the first steam engines were developed to pump water from the deep mine shafts. Additionally, we will take in the breathtaking scenery at Land’s End and explore the beautiful, secluded coves scattered along the coastline.
