Arts & Crafts
Artists come to Cornwall for nourishment drawn by its rugged beauty, the quality of light and a pace of life in which passions can run free, they find inspiration that reaches deep into their souls.
About a century ago, the painters Stanhope Forbes and Norman Garstin made the Newlyn School internationally famous. Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Bernard Leach did the same for St Ives. Today that tradition lives on in Cornwall's many studios and galleries.
Climb the steps to Tintagel castle and you'll understand why Dickens, Tennyson and Hardy made that same pilgrimage. Wander on Bodmin Moor and you'll know why Sir John Betjeman had a life-long love affair with Cornwall. Read the works of Rosamunde Pilcher, Winston Graham or the county's own poet, John Harris, all you'll feel Cornwall's heart.
Inspiration here spills out in music, dance and theatre. Sometimes wild and dark, often amusing, always engaging, you'll find it on harboursides, in pubs and in parks, in the grounds of great houses, on the open-air cliff-top stage of the Minack Theatre, and in the many festivals.
