Most people ‘do’ the Tate Gallery and feel that ‘art’ has been ticked off their agenda and head for the shops and beaches but for me the bronze, stone and wood forms that are truly at home here in the garden offer a unique insight into the work of this influential artist. In this tranquil spot, the mind can really loose itself and enter a fantasy realm. JEAN COOMBE, 76 INSPIRED BY: DAYMER BAY Jean has lived all her life in the county and is still mesmerised by Daymer Bay on the north coast. “I used to go there on Sunday school trips back in the early 40s. The first time I went, I remember being overwhelmed by the vastness of the beach and the seemingly huge sea that stretched before me.

There are many different beaches to choose from including: Towan Beach, Fistral Beach, Lusty Glaze, Holywell Bay and Crantock.

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.
