Early Spring & Easter

March to May

Spring is a wonderful time to visit Cornwall. The days are getting longer, the weather begins to warm, and the coastline comes alive with colour. With a milder climate than much of the UK, Cornwall often feels a step ahead when it comes to springtime.

Gardens begin to bloom in March with early magnolias, followed by carpets of bluebells in April and May. And if you’re lucky, you might even catch the last of the daffodils which start appearing as early as January and February.

Spring Holidays in Cornwall

Easter is a brilliant time to visit with children. With winter wetsuits readily available for hire or purchase, there’s no reason the whole family can’t have a splash in the sea or even try a surf lesson!

Bring your wellies, your spades, and your sense of adventure. There’s nothing better than digging in the sand, rock pooling, and running wild in the fresh air.

As one of the most westerly points in the UK, Cornwall enjoys longer daylight hours than many other parts of the country, perfect for making the most of the lighter evenings. And it’s not unusual to get a taste of summer early, especially in April and May when we often enjoy surprisingly warm, sunny days.

Why We Love This Season

Spring in Cornwall is uplifting. It’s the perfect time to shake off the winter blues, breathe in the salty sea air, and enjoy the landscape as it bursts into life. Whether you’re wandering through a garden in full bloom or enjoying a beach all to yourself, this time of year is full of colour, promise, and a renewed sense of calm.
