St Michaels Mount, Marazion

This famous castle and monastery is full of history, and makes for a stunning picture situated on the small islet as you approach. Get a striking shot – particularly as dusk if you can capture a silhouette.

The Lizard And Kynance Cove

Often listed as one of the most idyllic locations in the UK, Cornwall’s most southerly point is made even more beautiful by the glistening turquoise sea. The cove is highly popular with tourists, so make sure to get up early to get your coveted image!

Lost Gardens Of Heligan

200-acres of wonderland has been restored with mystery and romance at the Lost Gardens Of Heligan. Filled with walking trails, jungle, statues and hidden gems, the gardens are filled with natural beauty for you to capture.

Fowey

The small cargo port of Fowey offers picturesque panoramic images and, for those photographers who have drone licences, the overhead aerial views are stunning.

Botallack Mine

For a more rugged image, visit the tin mining area between Pendeen and St. Just in Penwith and explore the abandoned mines. The rocky terrain offers earthy, rich images – ideal for anyone looking for a picture of Cornwall that strays from a traditional beach shot.

Fistral Beach

Head to one of Cornwall’s most popular surf sports to see the experts in action! Fistral beach is full of surfers and watersports enthusiasts, providing plenty of subject material for engaging action photographs.

Rough Tor

One of Cornwall’s twin peaks, Rough Tor, is a high rocky outcrop that offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding Cornish countryside. The hill itself is a beautiful focal point for your photographs, with unusually stacked stone formations.

Land’s End

The famous signpost, showing the first and last point of the UK, has been the subject of many 1,000s of tourists’ photographs – so don’t miss out on the opportunity to capture the feature too. As one of Cornwall’s most iconic landmarks, it’s sure to be familiar to many viewers.
