Description
Newquay boasts the finest coastline and beaches in Europe and is unquestionably one of Cornwall’s loveliest resorts. Britain’s most southerly mainland point with its sunniest climate has attracted visitors for centuries, from the pirates which have given this county its own flag, to the thrill seekers who come to play along the rugged coastline, to gentler folk who come to enjoy the quaint fishing towns, rolling hills, rugged moorland and beautiful gardens. Newquay makes an ideal central base from which to tour this truly lovely region.
