August is a wonderful time of year in Cornwall. The weather is balmy and the sea has been warmed up by the months of summer sun. Across the county, Cornwall enjoys a lively pick up in pace and the scenery comes alive under golden sunshine. Sapphire seas lap against white sand beaches and along high streets and beach fronts little stalls sell cool glasses of lemonade and local ice cream. If you are looking for a quintessential summer holiday in the UK, this is it.
