Cornwall isn’t just a summer destination—it’s just as magical in autumn. With golden leaves, dramatic coastlines, and quieter towns, Cornwall in the autumn months is the perfect place for a getaway or a day trip. Whether you’re exploring Falmouth, Penzance, or Wadebridge, there are plenty of things to do in Cornwall this autumn.
Here are some of our favourites:
1. Walk the South West Coast Path
The South West Coast Path is stunning year-round, but autumn adds drama. Cooler days and crisp sea air make walks from St Ives Bay to Land’s End unforgettable.
Tip: Take a flask of Cornish tea and a slice of organic sourdough for an authentic Cornish picnic.
2. Discover Falmouth’s Maritime Charm ⚓
Falmouth slows down in autumn, but its charm shines. Explore the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, browse indie shops, or take a quiet stroll along Gyllyngvase Beach.
Don’t miss: A proper Cornish cream tea afterwards—jam first, of course.
3. Cosy Culture in Penzance 🎨
Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy Penzance’s art scene and cosy cafés. Visit the Penlee House Gallery, then warm up with a hot drink overlooking Mount’s Bay.
Bring it home: Create the café vibe at home with Baker Tom’s freshly baked bread delivered to your door.
4. Cycle the Camel Trail from Wadebridge 🚴
The Camel Trail is a must-do in Cornwall, especially in autumn when the woodland paths are full of golden leaves. This gentle cycle route is ideal for families.
Perfect finish: Back home, toast some wholegrain bread and top it with butter for the ultimate autumn comfort.
5. Chase Cornwall’s Autumn Sunsets 🌅
Cornish skies are famous for their sunsets, and in autumn they’re even more dramatic. Head to Marazion, Porthcurno, or Godrevy for fiery skies and wild seas.
Afterwards: Enjoy a warm bowl of soup with a crusty loaf of Baker Tom’s bread.
