Bei einem Urlaub in Cornwall werden Sie viele schöne Erinnerungen sammeln und wir möchten Ihnen einige Tipps geben, um Ihren Urlaub von Anfang an absolut stressfrei und erholsam zu machen. Cornwall ist das beliebteste Reiseziel in England für Rundreisen.

Kann ich direkt von Deutschland nach Cornwall fliegen?

Ja, das können Sie! Fliegen Sie direkt den Flughafen Newquay an der Nordküste Cornwalls an, und Sie landen unmittelbar im Herzen Cornwalls, wo sogleich Ihr Urlaub beginnen kann. Von Mai bis September gibt es einmal wöchentlich Flüge von Berlin, Stuttgart und Düsseldorf aus und zwischen April und Oktober zweimal wöchentlich Flüge von Frankfurt aus.

Mit Firmensitz in Cornwall bieten wir günstige Flydrive Urlaubspakete an, einschließlich Flüge und Autovermietung von Stuttgart und Düsseldorf. Autos können am Flughafen gemietet werden, so dass Sie all die Attraktionen Cornwalls auf eigene Faust entdecken können.

Es gibt Hunderte von Flügen das ganze Jahr über von Berlin, Hannover, München, Frankfurt, Köln und sämtlichen größeren Flughäfen Deutschlands nach London Heathrow. Anschlussflüge sind von Heathrow aus erhältlich zu Cornwalls weiterem Flughafen in Newquay. Nähere Informationen dazu finden sie hier.

Sie können direkt den Bristol Flughafen in Somerset anfliegen mit nur 2 Stunden entfernt von Cornwall. Es gibt regelmäßige Direktflüge während des Frühlings, Sommers und Herbstes nach Bristol von Frankfurt. Indem Sie nach Bristol fliegen, landen Sie direkt im Herzen Südwestenglands, startbereit für Ihren Urlaub in Cornwall. Autos können am Flughafen gemietet werden, so dass Sie all die Attraktionen Cornwalls auf eigene Faust entdecken können

Die meisten Urlauber reisen Freitag abends zwischen 19 Uhr und 21 Uhr und samstags tagsüber an (Sonnabend ist der Wechseltag für die meisten Ferienhäuser und Ferienwohnungen in Cornwall). Beginnen Sie Ihre Reise nach Cornwall ganz entspannt und vermeiden Sie eine Ankunft zu dieser Zeit.  Durch die vielen Londoner, die am Wochenenden zu ihren Ferienhäusern in Cornwall fahren, gibt es oft Stau an Orten wie Stonehenge an der A303 und in Cornwall selbst sind einige der Hauptstraßen einspurig, was gelegentlich zu langen Rückstaus führen kann.

Cornwall ist die sonnigste Regions, aber selbst im Sommer empfiehlt es sich, auf alle Wetterverhältnisse vorbereitet zu sein! Die Luft in Cornwall ist unverschmutzt, deshalb können die Sonnenstrahlen bei gutem Wetter sehr stark sein. Vergessen Sie also nicht, Sonnen- und UV-Schutz mit an den Strand oder auf Ihre Wanderung mitzunehmen. Besonders am Meer merkt man manchmal aufgrund der Brise nicht, wie stark die Sonne brennt.

Vergessen Sie auch nicht, einen Adapter für Ihre elektrischen Geräte einzupacken. Englische Stromstecker haben drei vierkantige Stecker und eine Stromstärke von 240V AC.

Die meisten Gasthöfe akzeptieren Mastercard und Visa, aber einige kleinere Hotels und B&Bs verlangen eventuell eine Gebühr bei Kreditkartenzahlungen und in einigen Unterkünften kann man nur in bar bezahlen. Banken sind normalerweise Montag bis Freitag von 9:30 Uhr bis 16:30 Uhr geöffnet und in den meisten Orten gibt es einen oder mehrere Geldautomaten.

Dies sind nur einige wenige Tipps, mit denen wir hoffen, Ihren Urlaub in Cornwall oder Ihre Reise durch diese wunderbare Region Südenglands noch erholsamer zu gestalten.

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.

Küsten von Cornwall

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.

Falmouth Oyster Festival

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.

UrlaubCornwall  recommends a great place to walk dogs away from the usual tourist spots while on holiday in Cornwall with a dog:

“Known by the locals as Polly Joke, it is a beautiful bay which can only be accessed by foot.  It nestles between the West Pentire Headland and the Kelseys  on the north coast and is the place I love to walk with my family and my dogs.

From West Pentire car park and you can look back on your right hand side to the beautiful expanse of Crantock Beach and continue your journey to the end of West Pentire Headland taking in the glorious and unspoilt beauty of the Cornish Coast.  During the summer months keep your eyes peeled for sights of seals and Basking Sharks who enjoy the warm currents and even the occasional dolphin.

When you get to the tip of the headland you can see East Pentire Headland to your right which leads to Newquay and the Kelseys to your left which leads onto Holywell Bay.

If you are feeling adventurous and energetic continue the walk onto to Holywell or Perranporth along the Cornish Coast or complete the circular walk by following the footpath on the left over the bridge and through the campsite.  The locals will be more than happy to give you directions.  Do be aware that there are no shops or toilets on this walk so be prepared.”

UrlaubCornwall  selected some beaches to take dogs on the south coast of Cornwall. Here are a few of the best:

Coverack – The beach at Coverack welcomes dogs all year to the Lizard Pennisula on the south coast of Cornwall. Coverack is quite a rocky beach but its splendid scenery attracts many families and dog walkers to explore the coastline. You can relax, sunbathe and enjoy the view of the small harbour or hire kayaks to take out on to the sea. There is ample parking in the village and

Whitsand Bay – Four smaller beaches make up the 6km of Whitsand Bay with a mixture of sand and rocks to explore. The beaches are dog friendly all year, with a café on the largest beach Tregonhawke.  Whitsand Bay is in the far east of Cornwall, near to the county border with Devon and the town of Saltash.

Gorran Haven – Near to the small and traditional fishing town of Mevagissey is Gorran Haven. The beach at Gorran Haven is a quiet and peaceful place to visit while on holiday with your dog.

Prussia Cove – This is one of the most famous smuggling beaches in Cornwall, with a notorious history of piracy in the eighteenth century. Today Prussia Cove, near to Penzance, is more famous for the views from the cliffs of Mounts Bay, Kenneggy Beach and the Lizard Pennisula. Dogs are welcome on the beaches and paths and will enjoy the walk along this breathtaking coastline.

UrlaubCornwall have selected some  great dog friendly beaches on the northcoast of Cornwall.

Perranporth  and Perran Sands– Excellent for long beach walks as these two wide sandy beaches cover a very large area. Perranporth is a popular family holiday spot on the north coast, but allows dogs on the beach all year round. The town has plenty of facilities for dogs and people alike, with dog friendly shops, pubs and cafés.

Fistral Beach – This surfer’s paradise is perhaps Cornwall’s most famous beach, and one of the main reasons people visit Newquay. The beach is dog friendly all year, so you can walk your dog along the wide, flat sands whilst the water is busy with surfers and bodyboarders.  The beach is big enough for you to find your family plenty of space.

Crantock Beach – A short journey west from Newquay along the north coast is Crantock Bay. The sandy beach is popular with families, but not as busy as the beaches in central Newquay.  Access to the beach from the car park is through some quite steep sand dunes, but they shouldn’t be a problem for most people or dogs. There is a National Trust and beach shop at Crantock, which remains dog friendly all year.

Summerleaze Beach – This sandy beach is ideal for short walks, close to the centre of Bude. Dogs are welcome all year but must be on a lead during the daytime from the end of May to the end of September.

A holiday house or cottage is a perfect base for many of Cornwall’s most popular attractions and scenic towns. The largely unspoiled village with its amazingly well preserved Georgian port, now a living museum, is still a working port but is predominantly famous as a home to majestic tall ships, used extensively in historical films.

With the Eden Project, Heligan Gardens and the sailing town of Fowey only short car jaunts away, there is plenty to keep everyone happy, but if filming is taking place you may just want to sit on the harbour and watch the magnificent sailing ships elegantly manoeuvre out in the bay.

Semi-detached Crow’s Nest is found in the evocatively historic setting of Charlestown on the south Cornish coast. Crow’s Nest, sleeping up to 6 and a cot, it is set just yards from the water, in a quiet residential lane that borders a tiny stream at the.

All along the north coast of Cornwall is the Atlantic Highway, the best way to see the Cornish landscape on your way to your holiday home, hotel or B&B.

The Atlantic Highway (A39) starts when you leave the M5 motorway on your way from Bristol or London. Heading past Tiverton takes you to the north of Devon, where you can begin to see the beauty of the English coastline from your car on the original road into Cornwall.

Atlantic Highway

The seaside towns of Barnstaple and Bideford make great places for a holiday in a cottage, but for the full Atlantic Highway experience you must continue your drive into Cornwall.

After passing the beaches of Bude you will see the historic Tintagel, reputed home of legendary King Arthur. Further west you travel across northern tip of Bodmin Moor and through the small town of Camelford, before you get to Wadebridge and the turning for the world famous restaurants of Padstow.

As you reach the end of the Highway in the centre of Cornwall, you will have seen some of the most picturesque countryside in Britain.

The A39 continues past the end of the traditional Atlantic Highway through Truro and finally ends up on the south coast at Falmouth. Or you can take the A30 towards Land’s End to continue your tour of Cornwall.
