Cornwall is known for its lengthy stretches of sandy beaches, turquoise waters and pleasant temperate climate. Try scuba diving, surfing and rock climbing among the amazing natural landscapes or head inland to find verdant gardens and a unique man-made rain forest. West Cornwall, in particular, has a reputation as an artistic and cultural hub, with many artists finding inspiration in the region’s picturesque landscapes. Visit the [Tate](https://www.expedia.ca/Tate-St-Ives-St-Ives.d6094449.Vacation-Attraction) gallery or the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden in [St. Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives.d182650.Destination-Travel-Guides) to learn about the main figures of the “St. Ives School.” Shop in independent boutiques and specialist stores in [Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/Truro.d182676.Destination-Travel-Guides), the only city in the county. Head to the Royal Cornwall Museum to see an exquisite collection of art and artifacts, including an unwrapped Egyptian mummy. Venture inland to the Eden Project, one of the world’s largest indoor rain forests. This garden’s biodomes house a collection of plants from around the world. One dome holds tropical species such as banana trees, while another specializes in Mediterranean plants, such as olive trees and grape vines. Also worth seeking out is the popular [Lost Gardens of Heligan](https://www.expedia.ca/Lost-Gardens-Of-Heligan-St-Austell.d6094387.Vacation-Attraction), which covers about 200 acres (81 hectares) of land in east Cornwall. Study plants from around the world, including sub-tropical, Mediterranean and northern species. This county is also known for its burgeoning food scene and is home to award-winning chefs and top-class local producers. Dine at beach cafés and oceanfront restaurants where seafood is served straight from the Atlantic Ocean. Cornwall is about 170 miles (270 kilometers) from [Bristol](https://www.expedia.ca/Bristol.d688.Destination-Travel-Guides). Travel by train to St. Ives or Truro, or fly into Newquay Cornwall Airport, located about 19 miles (31 kilometers) from the center of Truro. Book luxury hotels, self-catered apartments and cottages in Truro or in any of Cornwall’s charming villages. With its golden beaches, mild climate and enchanting harbor towns, it’s little wonder why Cornwall is such a beloved vacation destination. ### Popular cities in Cornwall [PenzanceKnown for Sea, Ports and Small town](https://expedia.ca/Penzance.dx2925) Browse shopping arcades and art galleries and enjoy the superb views of Mount’s Bay in this harbor town near the country’s most southwesterly point. ## Reasons to visit -
