Cornwall (Slow Travel) Bradt Guide

This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt`s Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly remains the only dedicated guide to this perennially popular part of Britain. Offering in-depth exploration of both frequently visited and less well known destinations that will be of interest as much to locals as to newcomers, it is written in a friendly, engaging style and includes up-to-date listings of the best and sometimes least obvious places to eat, drink and sleep appealing to all budgets.Cornwall`s connections with the USA are many and varied, ranging from a memorial to Rick Rescorla, a security chief at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 who was born here, to American artist James Turrell, whose Skyspace has recently been installed at the new Tremenheere garden outside Penzance. The Cornish mining diaspora has a strong presence in mining areas of California, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, while Redruth ‘“ Cornwall`s mining capital ‘“ is twinned with Mineral Point, Wisconsin. Also covered are the 1959 visit to St Ives of American abstract Expressionist, Mark Rothko, and the beach below Trebah Gardens which in 1944 was used as an embarkation point for a regiment of 7,500 of the 29th US Infantry Division for the assault landing on Omaha beach, part of the D -Day landings.Cornwall possesses an enduring appeal as a holiday destination for visitors of all ages and Bradt`s Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is the ideal companion to help you discover the county`s less obvious attractions. With this guide, explore the ‘˜Cornish Alps` or the lonely Rame peninsula, or discover where to listen to world-class musicians playing in tiny rural churches, or see where Cornwall`s emblematic bird ,the chough is making a comeback. Few areas offer such geographical diversity ‘“ the rugged, storm-lashed north coast and wide, sandy beaches favoured by surfers are rarely more than a few miles from the sheltered creeks and coves and exotic gardens of the southern coast. Wild moorland is dotted with neolithic standing stones and just 28 miles from Land`s End, the Isles of Scilly offer an exhilarating blend of exoticism and wild isolation.
