It’s best to prepare for the worst when you’re holidaying in the UK. You might have escaped on holiday to Cornwall, but that’s no guarantee you’ve escaped the rain. The region is resplendent in the sunshine. From the shores of St Ives to the cathedral at Truro, places such as Kernow are close to perfection; in bad weather, it’s best to remind yourself that this is what’s keeping things green and beautiful. But whether it’s pelting down, windy or just a mild case of mizzle (the Cornish name for mist and drizzle), there are options.
