Lifestyle in Cornwall
Life in Cornwall is defined by its connection to the outdoors, strong sense of community and slower pace of living.
The county offers something for everyone, from long days on the beach and coastal walks, to food festivals, art galleries and local traditions that bring villages and towns together year-round.
Many people are drawn by the opportunity to live closer to nature. Surfing, sailing, paddleboarding and kayaking are part of daily life along the coast, while inland you’ll find hiking routes across Bodmin Moor and quiet lanes perfect for cycling and riding. Cornwall’s designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in multiple locations underlines its unspoilt landscapes and access to wide open spaces.
For families considering a move, Cornwall also has a range of well-regarded schools. Visit the Good Schools Guide for more information.
For many, the appeal of Cornwall lies in its balance: the chance to enjoy a slower, healthier pace of life without losing touch with culture, creativity and modern amenities.
Areas of Natural Beauty in Cornwall
Cornwall is blessed with multiple Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, each offering a unique landscape and lifestyle.
The north coast is famous for dramatic cliffs and surfing beaches, while the Camel Estuary and Roseland Peninsula provide sheltered waters and charming villages. To the south, the Lizard Peninsula is known for its rare wildlife and turquoise coves, and in the far west, West Penwith offers rugged moorland and ancient heritage.
These landscapes are central to Cornwall’s appeal, combining unspoilt scenery with opportunities for walking, sailing and outdoor living.
