At the very edge of England, where ancient granite cliffs plunge into the churning Atlantic and windswept moorlands give way to sheltered fishing coves, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly stand apart from the rest of Britain — a land unto themselves. This compact yet comprehensive Geographia Guide chronicles the region's most celebrated landmarks, hidden villages, coastal paths, and cultural heritage, providing the traveller with authoritative detail on everything from the dramatic headlands of Land's End to the sub-tropical gardens of the Scilly archipelago. Practical and precise, it instructs the reader on transport, accommodation, and itinerary planning while painting a vivid portrait of a landscape shaped by tin miners, seafarers, and Celtic tradition. Beyond its role as a practical companion, the guide presents Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as a destination rich in myth, maritime history, and natural spectacle — a place where Arthurian legend haunts the clifftop ruins of Tintagel and rare seabirds wheel above some of Britain's most isolated shores. Part of the trusted Geographia Guide series, this volume distils an entire region into a pocket-sized format without sacrificing the depth of insight that discerning travellers demand. Whether you are drawn by the promise of white sand beaches, engine houses silhouetted against a fiery sunset, or the gentle pace of island life thirty miles off the Cornish coast, this guide will leave you with more to discover than any single journey can hope to exhaust.
