Why is September one of our favourite months for holidays in Cornwall?

Warm weather, nature putting on a show, smaller crowds at the biggest attractions... Take a look below at why we LOVE September. And if you're planning to escape to Cornwall this September, enjoy discounts to local attractions, special offers and more.

Room to Explore

Once the school holidays draw to a close, Cornwall's biggest attractions, sandy beaches, and most beautiful gardens are easier to visit - without the crowds! Set up for the day by the sea, or talk a romantic walk along the coast path - Cornwall is your oyster - and you don't even have to wait in a queue for your ice cream.

Party Like the Locals Do

September is the month for food festivals, music, street parties and more. Dance like a local, and see Cornwall come alive with that community spirit we're famous for! Take a look at what's on this year on our events page.

Sunny Weather

Alright, we can't predict the weather. But if you look at the last few years, September has been a calm and warm month with longer periods of sunshine. Perfect for pitching up your tent and grabbing some last minute rays before the winter - or exploring the waves undisturbed.

Shades of Autumn

I come here for the beautiful morning light that filters in through the trees and especially in the autumn when the color is intense and wonderful. But secretly, I cannot wait for the leaves to fall so I can enjoy the soft crunch underfoot. Park Soalcki Poznan, Poland Autumn

As the seasons change, Cornwall's gardens are painted in a canvas of oranges, pinks and sunset yellows. Wander through the woodland, crunch the leaves beneath your feet, and watch the wildlife play among the forests around our park. There's something so magical about this time of year!

Affordable Stays

As it's out of peak season, September is often more affordable! So come along and see us for a few nights, and get a taste of what we're all about.
