If you’re looking for one of the best holiday spots in the entire UK, then you can’t go wrong with Cornwall. This region remains one of the most popular holiday destinations for British holidaymakers, and with good reason!
There aren’t many other places in the country that can boast as many beautiful beaches as Cornwall, and on top of that, it has one of the highest rates of sunny days in the UK. Then there’s the incredible local culture, inland scenery and plenty of different things to do. Who can argue against a last minute caravan holiday to Cornwall?
To help narrow down where exactly in Cornwall you might want to stay, we’ve put together a list of our top five spots to visit on a 2025 caravan holiday.
- St Ives
If you’ve heard of one town in Cornwall, it’s probably St Ives. This coastal town is renowned for its arts scene, and with its cobbled streets, whitewashed cottages and two beaches, it’s no surprise that it’s a source of such creativity.
Of course, the Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum are essential stops for any art lovers, as well as the many local art galleries that are open up and down the town. But there are also lots of lovely eateries to choose from, as well as plenty of opportunities to set out on a wander along the nearby clifftop walks.
If you’re travelling with touring caravans, there are several picturesque caravan parks around St Ives that make an ideal base for exploring the coast and nearby attractions.
- Padstow
For the foodies among you, Padstow is an obvious choice. Home to four Rick Stein restaurants, as well as a cookery school, you won’t be wanting for chances to taste some incredible local seafood. Though if fish isn’t as much your thing there are still plenty of pasty shops to be found around the town.
Enjoy some time simply sitting by the bustling harbour and soaking in the pure Cornish ambience. You can also catch the ferry across to Rock, also known as the ‘Saint-Tropez of Cornwall’ with its beautiful sands (and restaurants owned by other celebrity chefs like Paul Ainsworth).
- Land’s End
How about heading to the very edge of the Cornish peninsula? Land’s End is the most westerly point of Great Britain, with impressive views out over the unbroken expanse of the Atlantic.
There’s certainly the perfect photo-op at the famous signpost that points towards a few key locations, especially on a day with clear blue skies in the background. Intrepid visitors can walk some of the nearby South West Coast Path, getting a feel for the scale of the long trek from Land’s End to John o’Groats.
- Falmouth
Another one of Cornwall’s many maritime delights, Falmouth is a town that has something for everyone. From its active harbour and various beaches to the fascinating National Maritime Museum and the seaside fortress of Pendennis Castle, there’s so much to see and do here.
If you venture a little further out of town, you will find a stunning slice of Cornish countryside at Trebah Garden. Plus, there are many ferries and boat rides that visitors can take to enjoy the Fal estuary or the nearby coastline.
- The Lizard Peninsula
Among the company of many scenic Cornish locations, the Lizard Peninsula stands out as one of the prettiest. More visitors know about it now, but the Lizard remains one of Cornwall’s most overlooked areas.
Home to the UK’s southmost point, the peninsula features dramatic cliffs, beautiful beaches and some incredible turquoise waters. Kynance Cove is often listed among the most stunning beaches in the world, even if there is a bit of a walk to get down to the sands.
We could easily add more Cornish locations to our list, but we’ll stop at just these five. Either way, you’ll find plenty of beautiful sights to see and interesting things to do if you visit Cornwall in 2025.
