A Visual Journey Through the Seasons
From crisp, cool air to the crunch of fallen leaves beneath your feet, you can embrace the beauty of autumn and the changing seasons. Whether you're planning outdoor adventures or simply savouring the warmth of a crackling fire, there's something truly special about this time of year in Cornwall.
Winter: Storm Chasers and Low Sun
Broody, magical, mystical. Mother Nature shows her strength. The seas lash the cliffs, the winds batter the coastline, but it's safe and sound at The Headland. Storm chasers gather here at this time of year for the spectacular views from our rooms and restaurants. And when the elements take a rest, you can venture out in to a spectacular landscape of low sun, long shadows and crisp salty air.
Spring: Fresh and Revitalising
Cornwall in the spring is fresh and revitalising. The storms take a break (usually), the sun sits higher in the sky, and the sea calms itself if its playing nicely. This provides a great time for coast walking and exploring before high season hits.
Summer: Balmy Nights and Atlantic Views
In summer the beaches fill with families and surfers, there are day trips out of Newquay harbour, sightseeing and fishing and long balmy evenings sipping cocktails on The Headland's veranda overlooking Fistral. đź“·Edelweiss Air & Loren Bedeli.
