We at Proper Cornwall divide the county up into three distinct ‘zones’ to help you navigate your way around our beautiful landscape. On this page, we can help you decide which places to visit in North Cornwall. Cornwall’s ‘rugged north’ is characterised by its towering cliffs along its stunning coastline, by its ever-popular seaside resort towns and villages, by its surfing culture, by its Atlantic waves, by its outstanding ‘rugged’ beauty and by its welcoming nature to all. In some of its towns, there’s a party atmosphere and there’s always something interesting to discover around the next corner. Further inland, the ‘rugged north’ is also loved for its rough and windswept Bodmin Moor and for its rolling countryside, from Bude and Launceston right down to Newquay, Perranporth and Portreath.
