So…the summer is at an end. It’s definitely cooler here in Cornwall and the leaves are beginning to turn.
We’d like to say ‘thank you’ to all our guests for using our chalet for their visits to our county. Cornwall has been at its best this year with hot days and fine weather. Not too many storms or rainy days.
There’s lots still to enjoy in September in Cornwall. The harvests in the vineyards and apple orchards, markets like those held in Wadebridge every week. St Ives has its September festival and Newquay has a fish festival. Also in Newquay is the surf and skate festival. Then on the other coast Falmouth puts on its sea shanty event and the Monaco theatre its on their autumn shows. The weather is still reasonably good so these shows should be rain free.
Art shows and craft events are everywhere in Cornwall, I’m particularly fond of Kernowcraft, a small business that supplies jewellers everywhere. Truro Museum and Art Gallery have an exhibition all September of childhood memorabilia from the 80’s. Then of course there are the gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project which show off the plants in their autumn glory. A walk around Lanhydrock’s gardens is also a peaceful pleasure.
Then for those who enjoy more physical pursuits there’s the 57 mile challenge of the Saints Way Ricochet. The surf is usually at its best in September challenging waves without the risks of the winter storms and the lifeguards are in attendance until November. Of course the coastal path is still available with incredible views, amazing sunsets and great little cafes along the way for your breaks.
Cornwall is still a great place to visit even though summers over.
