Located southwest of EnglandCornwall is simply a magical place for a holiday in the UK. Surrounded by an unforgettable coastline and the most beautiful villages, Cornwall is a much-loved British holiday destination, whether you’re visiting a romantic couple’s holiday or on a solo trip. So we’ll share with you the cute village of Cornwall to visit with you and we’re here to help you plan your stay!
The cutest village in Cornwall
Cornwall has a lot to see and we highly recommend traveling by car or hiring a car during your visit. And we recommend staying at the rental cottage to get the most out of Cornwall’s appetizing local food scene with a great selection of restaurants and pubs! This is our top pick for visiting the cutest villages in Cornwall.
Mouse hole
A charming and timeless village filled with fascinating smuggling history, Mousehole is a gorgeous place to visit on your Cornwall holiday. Drink tea and cakes in one of the cute cafes, wander around the cute harbors dotted with fishing boats, and eat fresh fish and delicious local ingredients in one of the many restaurants and pubs. During festive season, the mousehole is a magical place. Locals decorate the village with sparkling Christmas lights, and visitors come from all over to roam the streets with hot chocolate and aged cider.
St. Mouse
St. Mars, a picturesque village hidden in the south Cornwall of the Roseland Peninsula, is well worth a visit. Wandering along the winding streets, admire the whitewashed cottages and soak up the charm of this fishing village. Discover the gallery, dine with fresh seafood in one of the great local restaurants, and hire a paddle board to explore the surrounding coastline. This is a great way to capture the essence of the calm Southern Cornwall Coast.
St Ives
With golden sand and incredible blue waters, we certainly couldn’t miss St. Ives from this list! One of Cornwall’s most popular destinations, St. Ives is a great place for day trips with a picturesque, perfect coastal backdrop. Explore the cobblestone streets to an exciting selection of charming, independent shops, and enjoy ice cream as you stare into the ocean. And don’t forget to place fish and chips on the beach before you leave! Once the crowd disappears, we recommend that you go out of seasons during a few magical winter months (November to April).
Pipero
Perhaps one of the most beautiful villages in England (and that’s quite a claim!), Polparro in South Cornwall, should not be missed. Explore cute streets with traditional fishermen’s cottages, timeless charm and lovely little cafes in a fascinating village perfect for wanderers. If you want to explore the village’s history, visit the Polpero Heritage Fisheries Museum for an attractive look after the time passed.
St. Agnes
A laid back coastal village, St. Agnes is a great place for anyone looking to relax. Wandering towards the beach for an early morning swim or jumping into the coffee shop for delicious pickups and a bunch of fresh flowers. Plus, there are plenty of local restaurants that open late in the evening. The independent shop here has lots of creative and quality items, so this is a great opportunity to buy souvenirs. And we cannot forget to mention the pristine coastline surrounding St. Agnes. It is absolutely breathtaking, so I highly recommend dedicating the morning to discover its beauty. You won’t be disappointed!
The best time to visit Cornwall
Cornwall is spectacular all year round, but we recommend visiting in spring or fall to take advantage of the peaceful beaches. Not only that, towns and villages are not busy at this time of year. But if you don’t mind the crowds, summer is Cornwall’s high season. That’s when the coast truly comes back to life with visitors all over the UK. However, there is something magical about winter visits (if I dare you do it). Of course, this is low season in Cornwall, but if you don’t mind moody coastal adventures, it’s the perfect time to visit.
