5 Cornwall villages even most locals haven't been to! ⚓️
Cadgwith — a working fishing cove on the Lizard with thatched cottages and a single pub that serves the catch from boats you can see pulled up on the beach.
St Just-in-Roseland — not St Just (that's the other one, near Land's End). This is the church in the sub-tropical garden by the river.
Kingsand & Cawsand — twin villages sitting on the Devon border, technically the start of Cornwall when you arrive by ferry from Plymouth. Painted cottages, a brilliant pub on the beach, almost nobody outside the south coast goes here.
Coverack — south coast of the Lizard, harbour pub, blue-roof cottages, the proper "secret Cornwall" most people don't get far enough south to find.
Boscastle — the harbour mouth is one of the most dramatic in Britain, and the village still feels like it did before the 2004 flood. The Witchcraft museum is genuinely fascinating, not gimmicky.
Save this for your next trip!
