Cornwall is well known for its amazing scenery whether it is the stunning coastal views or the abundance of attractive countryside. I have several friends that are spending more and more time exploring the UK with their cameras in their spare time and Cornwall keeps cropping up as a top location. Here are some locations in Cornwall that you should visit with your camera.
Marazion: Marazion in Cornwall is a hugely popular destination for photographers who want to photograph one of Cornwall's most famous landmarks, St Michael's Mount. The island is linked to the land when the tide ebbs and is an amazing photography spot. Its castle is a good focal point for many images from a wide range of locations in the bay.
St Ives: St Ives is strongly linked to its history as a working fishing harbour and a great location for any holiday. The harbour town is a treat for photographers offering a wide selection of photography options including an extremely picturesque harbour and several sandy beaches. St Ives is well known for its high quality of light which makes for great photos and artwork, the town has inspired many artists in the past and even has its own Tate gallery. There are plenty of species of birds in the area that can prove popular for bird photographers too.
Bodmin Moor: Bodmin Moor is a great spot for the more traditional landscape photographers who don't want to focus on the coastlines of Cornwall in their images. Photography options on the moor include stone formations, and views from the Tors of the expansive landscape below. The moors are great for exploring to find whatever type of photo you prefer, some people prefer photos of lone trees in a barren setting while others like to photograph views of rivers winding through the valleys. Bodmin Moor has plenty to offer whatever your tastes.
The Southwest Coastal Path: Sometimes it is nicer just to explore and see what views greet you. The South West Coastal path spans the entire Cornish coastline and beyond. Choosing a section to walk on or to cycle can be a great way to see a wealth of views. The only downside (and upside) is that you never know what view will greet you around the next corner. If you like photographing Cornall's famously rugged coastline the coastal path is going to be one of your best bets. The added bonus of access to such a vast amount of coastline means that you can find places to capture your own unique perspective.
Wherever you choose to visit in Cornwall with your camera during your holiday, you are sure to have a great time and want to go back.
