Cornwall in Winter: Uncover Great Activities

Cornwall in winter is a very magical place, you can look forward to crisp hikes along the coast, wandering through peaceful towns and villages, and curling up with a hot drink in a historical house!

Winter in Cornwall is the best time of year for storm-watching, too. So, if you want to try something a little different, why not head to the stormy hot spots of the Carnewas at Bedruthan Steps and Penzance Promenade Beach?

When it comes to other memorable things to do in Cornwall in Winter, be sure to visit Mousehole Village. Here, you can look forward to some of the best Christmas lights displays in the county! The lights are dotted throughout the harbour and normally begin mid-December.

A day out at a National Trust location is a must when visiting Cornwall in December, thanks to their range of Christmas activities. Lanhydrock House and Trelissick both host Father Christmas experiences, where you’ll get to meet the renowned man himself! Cotehele also hosts an array of outdoor performances that are well worth watching!
