2. Accuracy of Information

We work hard to ensure the information on this site is accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee its completeness or currency at all times. Business details, opening hours, prices, and facilities change frequently. Always verify information directly with the relevant venue or organisation before visiting.

Secrets of Cornwall is a curated editorial guide, not an exhaustive directory. Inclusion of a place does not constitute endorsement, and exclusion does not imply criticism.

3. Walks and Outdoor Activity Information

Walking routes, difficulty ratings, distances, and descriptions on this site are provided for general guidance only. Conditions on the ground change due to weather, erosion, diversions, and seasonal factors. You are solely responsible for assessing the suitability of any route for your group’s abilities and conditions on the day.

Always carry an appropriate map, ensure you have the correct footwear and equipment, and check local conditions before setting out. In an emergency, call 999. See our full Outdoor Activity Disclaimer for more detail.

This site contains links to external websites including Komoot, business websites, and tourism resources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Links are provided for convenience only.

5. AI-Powered Features

The “Ask Cornwall” feature is powered by artificial intelligence (Claude, by Anthropic). Responses are generated automatically and may contain errors or out-of-date information. This feature is provided for inspiration only — always verify recommendations independently.
