From St Mawes you can explore both the north and south
coasts of Cornwall in this narrow neck of land stretching down
to Land's End. Cornwall is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the
coastline is battered by the Atlantic ocean. Fishing ports, little
harbours, seaside resorts at Newquay, Falmouth and St Ives and
the craggy coastline give Cornwall a character of its own, while
inland the countryside is dotted with remnants of its past mining
industries.
