Beautiful Cornwall: A Portrait of a County - Softcover

Beautiful Cornwall is the second in a series of Portrait of a County books, following on from Beautiful Devon and Wild Southwest, published in 2018 and 2016, respectively. Beautiful Cornwall is a book photographically celebrating the stunning beauty of the county of Cornwall, the culmination of southwest England's rugged peninsula. Divided into five chapters, the first is a text-led overview of what Cornwall is like, in terms of landscape, the natural environment, its towns, and the farming, fishing and tourism parts of its livelihood. Chapters 2 to 5 are photo-essays covering different parts of the county: The East, North Cornwall and Bodmin Moor, South Cornwall, and the Far West (including the Scillies). Being strongly photo-led, concentrating on the beauty of Cornwall, and a short book, it is intended that Beautiful Cornwall should appeal to anyone looking for a memento of time spent in the county, whether living there or visiting.
