One of the most beautiful seasons of all is upon us, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy it here in Cornwall.
The transitional seasons of Spring and Autumn are my favourite, and they are one of the main reasons why I couldn’t live abroad somewhere where it’s hot all year around – you’d miss out on all the beauty!
Anyway, Spring is truly beautiful in Cornwall; the weather gets warmer, evenings are brighter, and it’s not quite full of tourists just yet!
If you’re looking for some ways to enjoy this spectacular season here, look no further!

I wouldn’t describe it as a hubbub haha, but of course it’d be lovely for you to visit more often :) Let me know which weekend – would be great to meet up! xx
I’d like to visit Cornwall one day:)
You totally should Tanja! I’m slightly biased, but it really is lovely here :) x
What a great list! I always seem to miss these things but I’ll have to write down some of these date! I particularly like the sound of that food festival!
Haha I usually miss them too by forgetting they exist – so writing it out as a blog post is helpful for me to remember too! x
