22 February 2019

We are completely in love with Cornwall all year round, but there is something about Spring and watching the flowers bloom a little earlier than our Northern neighbours that makes us feel extra lucky. Read on to discover some of the best places to see Cornish flowers in bloom this spring……

Situated between Holywell Bay and Crantock, just outside Newquay the fields of Polly Joke are home to a breathtaking display of wildflowers: Best time to visit Late spring / early Summer.

The small cove is completely unspoilt, and there is National Trust parking nearby. This is a must-visit for calm, unspoilt, vibrant beauty.

Spring at Lizard Point (at the Southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula) enjoys a beautiful show of Wild Thrift, Wild Asparagus and Blue Spring Squill.

A visit will instantly show why Revd C A Johns, the accomplished Victorian plant expert visited 1847 wrote ‘If I throw my hat on the ground, wherever it lands there will be at least ten species of wild plant underneath’. Don’t forget to pack your hat to try it out for yourself!

Mounts Bay Fields

With the famous St Michael’s Mount in view, Mounts Bay at Spring is unforgettable, don’t forget Spring always comes early this far South, and the flowers are already peeping!
