From its romantically rugged Cathy and Heathcliff-style landscape and waves crashing on deserted beaches, to its vibrant nightlife and upcoming position as a foodie haven, Cornwall has recently become the trendy vacation du jour for the bright young things who trawl the streets of Kensington with the likes of Peaches G and Prince Harry.

Absolutely saturated in history and perched on the tip of England with a coastline battered by the Atlantic Ocean, Cornwall is the ultimate long-weekend stopover destination for anyone heading to the UK this summer.

Serious surfers (and surfer body-spotters!) head to Fistral Beach, whilst anyone looking to experience a ye olde English fishing village should seek out Padstow on the map.

And the nightlife? Well, when you're adding surfers and royals into the mix, expect to meet a fabulous Prince Dude before the clock strikes 12...

While you're there...

Dine celeb-style
Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant is a must-visit for foodies. Perched on the beach at Watergate Bay, with stunning ocean views, the restaurant is jam-packed every night thanks to its incredible locally sourced dishes.

Stay at the bay
With balconies overlooking Fistral Beach and miles of rocky headland to explore, The Bay Hotel is fabulously placed for a real away-from-it-all feel. The hotel also boasts a renowned spa and indoor pool, to de-stress surf-weary bodies.

Pad along to padstow
If Pirates Of The Caribbean whetted your appetite for mystery-soaked villages, Padstow will not disappoint. A short ferry ride from royal hangout, Rock, Padstow is Britain at its best, with Cornish cream teas and Rick Stein's famous fish'n'chip shop all there to be sampled.
