Crowned best holiday destination for the fourth year running at the British Travel Awards 2012, Cornwall has become the ultimate UK all-year-round location for those wanting to explore the absolute wealth of local history and heritage along with some of the most stunning coastlines anywhere in the UK.
 
One destination that may be a little more off the beaten track compared to more common Cornish locations such as St Ives and Padstow is Porthtowan - a beautiful Cornish location with one of Cornwall's best Blue Flag beaches at its heart with some of the most beautiful sections of the South West Coast Path leading directly from it.
 
Cliff top walks peppered with gentle descents into small coves (Church Cove), iconic engine houses - harking back to Cornwall's more industrial past - and lovely villages with waterside pubs, cafes and restaurants can be found along this wonderful stretch of the North Cornish Coast.
 
Inland, walk the mineral tramways from North to South Coast, explore beautiful wooded valleys or some of the many Gardens that are open to the public all year round, such as Trengwainton.
 
And for somewhere to stay giving you easy access to all of the natural wonders of this part of Cornwall is Towan Valley - a development of 20, 2,3 and 4 bedroom luxury self catering properties which enjoy the very latest facilities including Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, a fully fitted modern kitchen, off road parking and fully landscaped gardens.
