What to do in Cornwall
A guide to your holiday area

Your self catering holidays will never be dull as there are so many natural attractions to enjoy in the area and many Cornwall tourist destinations to discover.

Walks in this area of Outstanding Natural Beauty could be cliff-top rambles along the South Coastal footpath, strolls along quiet lanes and river banks, treks through our private woods bordering Froe Creek where badgers and buzzards can be spotted or heritage trails further afield.

There is a wide choice of beaches in the area. Within walking distance of Trewince is Towan Beach, a favourite for swimming and exploring. A colony of seals gathers around the corner and dolphins sometimes swim near to shore. Many other beaches are within easy reach as water practically surrounds the area, and facilities for sailing, scuba diving, windsurfing and swimming are excellent. Creeks and inlets are just waiting for you to explore them, and you can start your trip from the quay on our own foreshore just off the Percuil river. The North Coast surf beaches are only 35 minutes away. A day trip to the Scilly Isles is possible, by sea or air, visiting the famous Tresco Abbey gardens.

High quality Tourist Attractions around Cornwall are easily reached: the highly acclaimed Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, the Seal Sanctuary, Goonhilly Satellite Station, National Trust properties, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and many examples of Cornwall's mining heritage. The stunning Minack open air theatre on the cliffs at Porthcurno should be part of every summer holiday. If you want to eat out you can try Rick Stein's famous Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Cornwall at Watergate Bay or one of the many local pubs and restaurants. The atmosphere of the area is convivial. The Cornwall holiday Guide will show you why Cornwall cannot be beaten as a holiday destination.
