Roaring Surf & Quiet Beaches - Why Winter In Cornwall Is Special

January can be a tough month - the post Christmas blues, the cold dark days and the long stretch until spring. But if you look for it, there really is something quite special about this time of year. From roaring surf to quiet beaches, let's explore why winter in Cornwall is special...

Peace & Quiet

After all the craziness of Christmas and New Year - the socialising, the parties, the overflowing drinks and food, the loud pubs and excited children - January is a total reset for your nervous system! If you're in need of some peace and rest then Cornwall is just the place. January and February are the two quietest months of the year in Cornwall, allowing you to escape from it all. 

Storm Watching

The Atlantic is just waiting to batter our shores with winter storms, some years we get storm after storm hitting the cliffs, other years just one or two big ones, but bide your time and you're in for a show from Mother Nature. Click here to take a peek at our favourite storm watching spots. Do be careful when you are outside in a storm and beware of tides, big waves and harbour walls.

Winter Walks

Nothing beats a walk on a sunny, crisp winters day. Wrapping up warm and feeling the cold fresh air on your face is the perfect antidote to the excesses of the festive season. Hit the coast path for blustery, bracing walks. Head to the moors for vast vistas. Or stomp through the woods and listen to the birds. We've rounded up our favourite winter walks in Cornwall for you to take your pick from, click here to have a read.

Cosy Pubs

With Dry January on it's way, the pubs of Cornwall are peaceful after all the partying of Christmas and New Year. We are so lucky to have some beautiful pubs in Cornwall, from thatched inns with roaring log fires to coastal pubs with stormy winter views, you are sure of find one to while away a lazy afternoon. Try the Pandora Inn for cosy creekside vibes, the Cadgwith Cove Inn for Cornish harbour quaintness or The Rising Sun near Altarnun for a moorland feel and great food.

Signs of Spring

It can feel like a long old slog until spring at this time of year, but if you take a look you'll discover signs of spring peeking through already. From daffodils in bloom to snowdrops and greenery popping up in the hedgerows, the countdown to warmer days is on! Make the most of Cornwall's famous gardens by visiting now for quiet solitude, signs of spring and a different take on these gorgeous landscapes. Click here for our top Cornish gardens to visit.
