Savills Portugal

Welcome to Cornwall, a county that, for so many, needs little introduction. It's also a county I am proud to call home. After several years abroad, I was drawn back to Cornwall by the open spaces, the fantastic lifestyle and timeless beauty of the landscape.

One of the most special things about this county is undoubtedly the coastline, and with over 400 miles of it, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches, cliff walks and sunset spots. Almost a third of Cornwall is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the National Trust has a huge presence here in managing and maintaining the landscape.

Jutting boldly into the Atlantic as England’s most westerly and southerly point, Cornwall is much more than just a windswept peninsula and different parts of the county offer very different lifestyles. One of my family’s favourite activities is walking the South West Coast Path around Porthtowan and Chapel Porth, which, like much of the north coast, has stunning views from the cliffs and dunes, as well as world-class surf on the beaches below.

The south of the county has excellent sailing and a peaceful coastline dotted with fishing villages and secret beaches, while to the east, Fowey and the famous harbour at Charlestown offer visitors an authentic glimpse of our heritage. Rugged landscapes in the far west create some of the most unspoilt areas in Britain, with dramatic coastal scenery and smugglers’ coves, traditional fishing villages such as Mousehole and the illustrious theatre carved into the cliff at Minack.

I am proud to have marketed some of Cornwall’s most desirable and interesting properties and developments, and after more than a decade in the region, our expert team is ideally placed to guide and advise buyers and sellers.
