I thought there was a thread on here a while back with suggestions of places to visit in Cornwall, but can't find it.

I am planning to drive down there for about four days next month. Any recommendations gratefully received ... or a link to previous thread!

Porthcuno...nice beach...amazing blue water...and the minack theatre next to it..even better if its timed with a production.

Lost gardens of heligan are nice....

to be honest there are loads of places in Cornwall the coast line is so dramatic...i stayed at a lovely place at Gwithian last time i was there

If you're near Penzance then there is a pub that does very good food and reasonable priced in a place called Gulval just north of Penzance. Think the pub was called coldstreamer or something (probably the only pub in the village though). It was about £60 for three course meal including wine and they had the option of "chefs choice" where the chef decides what you have for each course and it was very nice.

The arse end of Hangleton
Looe is a fantastic little village with some decent places to eat ( pasties included ! ) and a great beach.

Some smaller places: Falmouth, Mawnan Smith, Flushing and St Mawes - all picturesque and nice, and close to one another. Could easily do all in a day. And all of the above suggestions are good. St Ives gets VERY tourist-y in the summer, FYI.

You can't go wrong in that lovely county they even do some great beers. I'd give Lands End a miss though, especially if the weather is poor.

Just go to West Penwith (last area before Land's End), and take in some of the stone circles and quoits. look up Zennor, Madron, St Just for Cape Cornwall and St Michael's Mount in Penzance. All of these slightly off the beaten and all with their own unique atmosphere. Also Chysauster if it's grey or drizzly.

Lived there for 2 years and returned last summer. Some of the best places/ things to do are as follow:-
- Minack Theatre - don't miss. Stunning location and it really doesn't matter what you see.
- St Ives - just to walk round and soak up the atmosphere or visit the Tate and all the galleries.
- lizard peninsula and go to the little towns and coves. The is a great walk from Helford round the coast path to St Anthony and back over to Helford via Manacan. Park in the car park by the cafe. Then visit Coverack and have ice cream at Roskilly Farm.


I wouldn't bother going to Lands End but do go to St Just and/or Sennen after driving along the best road ever from St Ives.

Have a Cornish pasty from Philps bakery, Hayle. The genuinely are the best in Cornwall. It's on the main road though Hayle just on the bend.

Best beach is Gwithian, then go to the Sunset surf cafe next the the car park behind the beach. Best for sunsets in the evening.

Have fun.

Apart from that just explore
