📸🏡 World Photography Day – Home 🏡📸

Home isn't always where you live… sometimes it's the place that fills your heart with happy memories. 💙

For many of our guests, Cornwall has become their home from home – where mornings begin with the sound of the waves, days are spent exploring beautiful beaches and coastal paths, and evenings end with breathtaking sunsets.

This World Photography Day (19 August), we'd love to see what "Home" means to you.

📷 Share your favourite photo from a Cornwall holiday with us in the comments and tell us why it feels like home. Whether it's a stunning coastal view, a family beach day, a four-legged friend enjoying the sand, or your favourite holiday hideaway, we'd love to see it.

Who knows... your photo might even inspire someone else's next Cornwall getaway! 🌊☀️

🌞🌙 LOOKING UP? TODAY’S SOLAR ECLIPSE IN CORNWALL

Something rather special is happening in the Cornish skies this evening! On Wednesday 12 August 2026, Cornwall will experience a deep partial solar eclipse, with around 96% of the Sun covered by the Moon at its peak.

📍 Where to watch in Cornwall:
Head somewhere with a clear, unobstructed view towards the west/north-west. Cornwall’s beaches, coastal paths and open clifftops can offer fantastic vantage points – just make sure you’re somewhere safe and away from cliff edges.

⏰ When: The eclipse begins at around 6.18pm, with maximum coverage shortly after 7pm, before the event comes to an end around 8pm.

⚠️ PLEASE WATCH SAFELY: Never look directly at the Sun, even when most of it is covered. Ordinary sunglasses are not safe. Use genuine eclipse glasses or a certified solar viewer that meets the appropriate safety standard. Alternatively, use an indirect viewing method such as a pinhole projector.

So, find a safe spot, keep your eyes protected and look skywards – Cornwall is one of the best places in the UK to experience this spectacular eclipse!

📸 If you capture the eclipse from Cornwall, we’d love to see your photos!
