||
| Cornwall needs little introduction | |||
| a breathtaking coastline, subtropical vegetation | |||
| and picture book fishing villages | |||
| ...images which come easily to mind | |||
| But it is in the Far West that the intangible "something special" happens | ||||
| Wild and unsullied the Land's End Peninsular | ||||
| with its clarity of light and elemental landscape | ||||
| has always been a magnet for the creative soul... | ||||
| Walk thirty metres from the hotel and stare out into Mount's Bay... |
| - on your left |
| St Michael's Mount, an unbelievable fairytale castle and gardens only reached by causeway at low tide. |
| - or look right |
| to the fishing village of Newlyn: for more than a century home to the renowned Newlyn School art colony. |
| - go a little further |
| and you will find the Minack Theatre - a spectacular ampitheatre carved into the cliff face and offering nightly open air performances with the sea as backdrop. |  |
| - and in a couple of miles |
| you are at Land's End with it's awesome sunsets and the fabled sunken land of Lyonesse |
| ......still more..... |
| ...yes... |
| Wonderful Cornish Gardens in bloom even in winter |
| Hundreds of galleries, from the world renowned Tate St Ives to the tiny "artist in residence" studios |
| Soaring cliffs and stunning white beaches, |
| Timeless villages and quaint pubs..... |
| ....come and see.... |
