More than seventy poems. One unforgettable Duchy. A journey you'll want to take again and again.

Walk the Cornish coastline in verse. In Cornwall In Verse – Tide to Tor In Poetry, Alden Carrow brings the Duchy alive through more than 70 original poems, each one anchored in a real Cornish place — from rugged headlands to hidden coves, ancient tors to wind-scoured moors — weaving together past and present, myth and memory.

Feel the salt wind on your face. Hear the sea's slow pulse. Let the land speak. These pages are both poetry and a poetic map of Cornwall, guiding you journey by journey from Tintagel to Penzance, St Ives to Zennor. Rich in imagery, musical in tone, and rooted deep in place, this is Cornish landscape poetry at its most vivid — a book to read by the fire, carry in your coat pocket, or give to someone who left a piece of their heart by the sea.

Inside you'll discover:

Over 70 original poems, each dedicated to a Cornish place — from Boscastle and Zennor to St Ives, Penzance, and beyond.
A poetic map of Cornwall, blending myth, memory, and music in precise, lyrical stanzas.
Reflections on heritage, renewal, and our deep human need to belong to a place.
A sensory celebration of Cornwall's sea, sky, people, and enduring soul.

Perfect for readers who love:

The poetry of Seamus Heaney, Alice Oswald, or John Betjeman.
The landscape writing of Robert Macfarlane and Patrick Leigh Fermor.
The timeless magic of Cornwall itself — its folklore, resilience, and restless beauty.

"Carrow's Cornwall is not described — it is felt. Each line is a footprint in sand, soon washed away but never forgotten." — D. E. Fearns & Co Literary

Cornwall In Verse - Tide To Tor In Poetry is the second volume in the British Counties In Verse series — a poetic pilgrimage across the landscapes of Britain. A beautiful gift for poetry lovers, travellers, Cornish locals, and anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of the sea.

Walk in. Listen. Let Cornwall speak.
