Navigate the city’s hidden gems with our GPS-guided audio tours, taking you beyond the tourist spots to authentic local experiences.
The Lost Cove of Nanjizal
This hidden beach near Land’s End, accessible only by foot along the South West Coast Path, showcases Cornwall’s raw, untamed beauty. Behind its natural stone arch, known as the ‘Song of the Sea’, lies a secret cove where crystal-clear waters wash through a naturally formed tunnel. The pristine sandy beach, missed by most visitors, offers a peaceful haven where Atlantic waves have carved remarkable rock formations.
Local Guide Tip: Visit at low tide to explore the sea caves and natural rock pools. Bring your camera at golden hour when the sun illuminates the granite cliffs and creates magical reflections in the natural rock pools.
Coordinates: 50.0651° N, 5.7036° W
The Ancient Woodland of Tehidy
Once the estate of the powerful Basset family, this 250-acre hidden woodland near Camborne conceals a network of secret paths and forgotten lakes. Beyond the main trails, you’ll discover ancient oak groves, peaceful lily ponds, and remnants of Cornwall’s mining heritage woven into the landscape.
Local Guide Tip: Follow the lesser-known North Cliffs trail at dawn to spot local wildlife and enjoy complete solitude among blooming rhododendrons in spring.
Coordinates: 50.2614° N, 5.2931° W
The Secret Gardens of Glendurgan
Hidden in a subtropical valley near Falmouth, this maze-like garden conceals more than just its famous laurel maze. Deep within its grounds lies a forgotten Victorian viewing platform offering panoramic views of the Helford River, and tucked-away corners where exotic plants from nineteenth-century plant hunters still flourish.
Local Guide Tip: Visit in late afternoon when most tourists have left, and follow the “Ghost Walk” path to find the original gardener’s cottage and its hidden exotic fruit garden.

Cornwall top sights with insider tips
St. Michael’s Mount The iconic tidal island fortress Insider Tip: Skip the morning crowds and visit 2 hours before sunset when the causeway emerges. Local boats will still take you back if the tide comes in, and you’ll get stunning golden hour photos of the castle.
Tintagel Castle Legendary birthplace of King Arthur Insider Tip: Book the first entry slot at 10 AM to have the dramatic bridge crossing almost to yourself. The lesser-known Tintagel Haven beach below the castle offers the best photo angles.
The Eden Project World’s largest indoor rainforest Insider Tip: Visit on a rainy day when crowds are thinner. Head to the Mediterranean Biome during lunch hours when most visitors are in the cafes. Book “After Hours” sessions in summer for magical evening light.
St Ives Artist colony & stunning beaches Insider Tip: Take the scenic train from St Erth to St Ives for coastal views. Visit Porthgwidden Beach instead of crowded Porthmeor, and book Barbara Hepworth Museum for 4 PM when tour groups have left.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan 200 acres of restored gardens Insider Tip: Ask for the “Hidden Heritage” map at reception – it shows secret paths and viewing points not on the main map. The Jungle area is magical in morning mist.
Minack Theatre Clifftop open-air theatre Insider Tip: Even if there’s no performance, visit at 10 AM for the best light for photos. Walk down to Porthcurno Beach afterwards – it’s Cornwall’s most beautiful beach but arrives before 11 AM in summer.
Kynance Cove Turquoise waters & serpentine rock formations Insider Tip: Visit 2 hours before low tide and explore the caves. Park at the National Trust lot and walk the extra mile along the cliff path for breathtaking approach views.
Padstow Charming fishing port & foodie heaven Insider Tip: Skip Rick Stein’s and try Prawn on the Lawn instead. Take the Black Tor ferry to Rock for sunset views of the harbor.
Bodmin Moor Ancient landscapes & mysterious stones Insider Tip: Visit Golitha Falls early morning for mystical atmosphere. The lesser-known Cheesewring formation offers better views than the popular Roughtor.
Fistral Beach, Newquay Surfing paradise Insider Tip: Book surf lessons at Fistral Surf School for 7 AM sessions – better waves and fewer people. Watch sunset from the Headland Hotel’s terrace with a Cornish gin.
