Cornwall commercial property locations

Cornwall, a predominantly coastal county, is bordered to the north and west by the Cornish Channel, the south by the English Channel, and on land by the county of Devon. Cornwall is one of the oldest counties in Britain, dating back to the first century BC, and was even mentioned by the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus.

The county’s economic and administrative centre is Truro, which offers countless opportunities for businesses located in the area with industrial property for sale, office space to buy and shops for lease.

Other commercial centres in Cornwall include: Newquay, which attracts many surfers and provides commercial property in a spectacular location; St. Ives' economy also supports many commercial business properties and retail units; and St. Austel, Bodmin, Falmouth, Penzance and Stratton, all of which have office space to buy and let, retail property for rent, shops to buy or lease and commercial property for rent in some of the most popular tourist destinations in the country

Historically tin mining and fishing were both vital to the Cornish economy, but during the mid-nineteenth century these industries fell into decline, filling the market with industrial property for rent and industrial land for sale. Today tourism has taken over as the biggest-grossing industry in Cornwall, and because of this there are now many commercial shops to buy and shops to lease in the area.

Transport links around Cornwall and beyond are concentrated around the A30, A38 and A39 as well as ferries from Padstow to Cardiff and Swansea in south Wales, all of which helps to ensure that any commercial business property purchased in Cornwall is in a well-connected part of the county.
