A holiday in Cornwall this autumn or as Ein Herbsturlaub in Cornwall as Germans would say. September, October and November are perfect months to visit Cornwall, Southern England’s most popular holiday destination.

The crowds of the summer months have left and the spectacular beaches can be deserted. Enjoy a stroll along vast expanse of golden sand on Watergate Bay followed by lunch or dinner in Jamie Oliver inspired restaurant Fifteen.

Summer lingers longer in Cornwall with the autumn milder than anywhere else in Great Britain. Many famous gardens remain open such as Trebah and Trengwainton so you can take advantage of the changing colours of the trees and plants set off by the lower autumn sun. Or visit Falmouth to see the newly restored Gyllyngdune Gardens with its fascinating shell grottos, and then spend some time exploring its other attractions like the National Maritime Museum.

The end of summer brings a number of food festivals and events such as the Food and Drink Festival in Truro, where many of Cornwall’s finest chefs showcase what’s on offer in their restaurants. Or try the Falmouth Oyster Festival in October to try this highly prized seafood.

If an winter storm arrives early a cliff top walk to see the huge waves crashing on the rocks can be a memorable site, Lizard Point on Cornwall’s south coast with its spectacular scenery or the town of Portleven with its harbour walls protecting the fishing boats a unique backdrop to the fierce seas.

But even on a rainy day there is many great attractions throughout the county check out our top 10 tips here.
