According to the latest lockdown-easing dates in the UK, staycations are set to be back on the cards from 12 April 2021. And while Cornwall is one of our favourite places to visit in Britain, it’s getting harder and harder to book a stay in the county at peak times, with the West Country continuing its moment in the spotlight. So where else should you consider? We’ve rounded up 10 places that offer some of the key things you might travel to Cornwall for, from the beaches to the food scene, across the UK.
