Discover your Hidden Cornwall

This video from Sykes Cottages shows some of the less well-known places to explore that Cornwall has to offer. They are not 'secrets' by any means, but some may not necessarily be the first places that people would consider when thinking about when they visit Cornwall.

The video was shot on location across Cornwall and places featured include:

The video has been created by Cornwall film directors Tim Boydell and James Keith of Light Colour Sound, in partnership with Sykes Cottages. The aerial film used in the video was captured using state of the art aerial platform technology, named Skyhawk a custom designed 'RC-Multirotor' carrying a unique camera stabilising gimbal. The film also features a bespoke soundtrack, created by Sam Boydell of Light Colour Sound and Boyde Music specifically for this project.

The result is a stunning short film showcasing some of the best that Cornwall has to offer, helping viewers get right to the heart of one of the UK's best-loved holiday destinations.
