In 1850, tourism was in its infancy, and the pair had many adventures, visiting Land's End, Tintagel, St Michael's Mount, and Loe Pool. A local guide took them on an extraordinary tour down Botallack mine, and another showed them how to scramble up the Devil's Bellows at Kynance Cove. This charming account of their travels includes fascinating descriptions of legends and customs, pilchard fishing, ancient monuments, eccentric innkeepers, and local cuisine, painting a vivid and affectionate picture of Cornwall as it was nearly two hundred years ago. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilkie Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851246568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851246564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bodleian Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Wilkie Collins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47474535792895,"sku":"9781851246564","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_952d1517-34e3-4ac4-aca9-6de823b86f91.jpg?v=1762317361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wilkie-collins-on-cornwall-wilkie-collins-9781851246564","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
