Cornish Villages is a unique book exploring twenty-two villages within Cornwall. Many are archetypical Cornish fishing villages, others have been built to serve the mining and quarrying industries. Each chapter includes photographs taken by the author and a section on places to see nearby, covering beaches, coastal walks, visitor attractions and towns; so each adventure can last a day or more.

The villages are arranged in order of location, to enable easy holiday planning and to assist local people in choosing an area to visit. There is also a map of Cornwall, which pinpoints the location of each village explored.
