Packed full of idyllic seaside escapes, rugged wilderness, and bursting with enchanting myth and history; Cornwall is a stunning place to visit. Based at our farm on the North Coast of Cornwall, here at St. Eval we feel so lucky to call this county our home, and to be surrounded daily by the breath-taking magic of Cornwall's wild beauty. In this week's blog we're exploring our favourite spots to visit in West Cornwall.

Here at St. Eval we are constantly finding inspiration in the beauty of the natural world as we curate our range of over thirty fragrances and conjure new and exciting scents. Reminiscent of balmy evenings and days spent in the sunshine, our Lemon & Thyme fragrance combines zesty and herbal notes to transport you to your favourite summer scenes.

Here at St. Eval, we’re seizing the summer season and celebrating Cornwall’s scents, sights and sounds. Blessed with an abundance of beautiful nature waiting to be explored, we’ve curated a quick list and top tips on how to embrace the best of Cornwall.

Here at St. Eval we feel truly blessed to live and work closely surrounded by the stunning Cornish outdoors, and we’re lucky to have such a gorgeous source of inspiration right on our doorstep. We are constantly conjuring up new and exciting fragrances, taking our inspiration from the beauty of nature and our close affinity with the natural world. After a meadow of wild camomile was discovered on the farm here at St. Eval, we couldn’t help but be inspired by this wonderful scent and we created Camomile Lawn to evoke the wonderful feelings of joy that come from being surrounded by pretty wildflowers in summertime. 

Coloured with blues and greens like precious gemstones, dragonflies are a sight to behold as they dart between leaves and branches, their wings moving almost imperceptibly as they dance through the sky. Here in the UK they’re a staple of summertime, hovering over gardens and bodies of water as we enjoy the warmer weather, a silent presence with wings that glisten in the sun.

This June we celebrate a historic moment in our country’s history, as Her Majesty the Queen reaches her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of incredible service. With an extra-long bank holiday weekend to look forward to full of family get-togethers and garden parties, we’ve put together this special guide full of ways that you can use your favourite St. Eval candles to create a showstopping celebration this Jubilee.
