Instagram Moments: Cornwall's Most Instagrammable Locations

It’s a no brainer that Cornwall is one of the most incredible places in the UK. With miles of coast, iconic landmarks and tropical gardens, the county is an Instagrammer’s playground. So, with further or do, here are my top Instagrammable places in Cornwall.

St Michaels Mount, cornwall’s little island -

St Michael’s Mount is one of Cornwall’s most iconic landmarks. St Michael’s Mount is home to just 30 islanders, the Sail Loft Restaurant, the Island cafe, church, and sub-tropical gardens. 

 The Castle has been home to the St Aubyn family since 1650, however the earliest buildings on the Mount date back to the 1200s. Explore the medieval pathways for an adventure back in time?

Make sure to check the tide times before heading to St Michaels Mount. The best time to snap a photo for the gram is when the tide is out and the causeway to the mount is fully visible. There's nothing more show-stopping than an island that's reachable by foot. Read about our trip here.

 The Scarlet Hotel, for hot tub views in cornwall -

 Perched on the cliffs at Mawgan Porth, The Scarlet Hotel is known as one of Cornwall’s most luxurious boutique hotels.⁣

 As an eco, adult-friendly hotel, The Scarlet is the only one of its kind in the county and focuses on reconnecting human connection and holistic wellbeing through bespoke moments. ⁣The Scarlet is Instagram famous for its hot tub cliff views and natural water pool.

Bedruthan Steps, cornwall’s great ocean road -

Bedruthan Steps is an absolute favourite in the blogger world. Either walk along the National Trust coastal path or wander down over 200 steps to the beach. Famous for the dramatic coastline and sheer rock formation, Bedruthan can only be described as a truly magical place with plenty of beach to explore. Read about our spa day at The Scarlet here.

The Minack Theatre, cornwall’s outside theatre -

The Minack is an open-air theatre and offers insane views over the Atlantic and Porthcurno beach. It was built by hand by a little old lady (in the 1930s!) who once lived in the house behind the theatre. She had help from her gardeners but my god I have no idea how they managed it... I struggle to keep the garden plants alive! 

Check out the Minack Theatre’s all-year-round events calendar here.

Pedn Vounder and Porthcurno -

In 2018, the social media world went mad for Pedn Vounder and Porthcurno. A video went viral online and people flocked in their hundreds to see Cornwall's real tropical paradise for themselves. There are plenty of platforms from the top of the coastal path which offers incredible views right over the beach. Also, find the wild ponies to the left of the coastal path. Read about our adventure to Pedn Vounder here.

Eden Project, Cornwall’s greenhouse -

The world's largest greenhouse! What could be quirkier than that? If you can't make it to the Amazon Rainforest, then look no further. Either climb up to the aerial platform at the top of the 165-foot-high Rainforest Biome or see if you can make it across the bridge before getting caught in the rain.

Cardinham Woods -

Cardinham Woods is the ideal location for an Autumnal shoot. At the right time of year, Cardiham is full of burnt oranges, yellows and reds. For a creepier location, head up the hills until you reach the heart of the woods – you won’t be disappointed.

Gwithian Beach -

With miles of golden sands, Gwithian beach has plenty of area to photograph. The sand dunes protect you from the wind and offers a fantastic backdrop - plus, best sunsets ever! Read about our visit to Cardinham Woods here.

Kudhva, Cornwall’s tree top houses -

Kuhdva is quite easily one of the quirkiest accommodation settings in Cornwall. The photos say it all. Located on the outskirts of Tintagel, Kudhva is a fantastic space for creatives and architects. The phone signal is pretty poor but a digital detox is what we need sometimes. Plus, we can always press the ‘SAVE’ button. Read about our visit to Kudhva here.

RMS Mulheim, shipwrecks in Cornwall

On 22 March 2003, RMS Mulheim, a 294ft German cargo vessel carrying 2,200 tonnes of scrap car plastic, ran aground in Gamper Bay. Gamper Bay can be found along the coast path between Sennen and Lands End. Part of the ship remains on the coast and makes a great photo opportunity.  RMS Muheim is most certainly an awesome find and such a great place to explore. Please remember the dangers before visiting and make sure to keep an eye on the tide. Read about our first trip to the shipwreck here.
