Cornwall's mild weather climate is one of the key reasons that makes it such a popular UK family holiday destination. It's not just Cornwall's most western UK location that makes it mild, it's the Gulf stream as well which hits the coast. The influence of the sea can make it changeable at times, and you can often find that it's sunny on the coast at Newquay but cloudy at Penzance or on the Isles of Scilly. However, lots of sunshine in peak season and an all year round mild climate is guaranteed!
