Things to do around Cornwall
If you're planning a day out in Cornwall, you're in for a treat. This picturesque county in South West England offers a blend of natural beauty, historic landmarks, and unique attractions. Here are some delightful activities to consider:
1. Enter Paradise via the Eden Project:
- The Eden Project is an ambitious nature-bound paradise. As you walk through the entrance, it feels like stepping into another world. The garden, spanning dozens of football fields, hosts bubble-like conservatories with diverse ecosystems. Explore South African flora, Mediterranean fruits, and a rainforest biosphere. Don't miss the Rainforest Canopy Walkway and learn about wine production, paper making, and more. It's a must-visit landmark for all ages.
2. Day Out at Land’s End:
- Land’s End isn't just a jut along the English coast; it's a spectacular landmark. Take a leisurely stroll along the perimeter and capture stunning views. As the most southerly point in England, it marks the end of the famous 'John O’Groats to Land’s End' bike ride. Visit Greeb Farm (Easter to November) to see piglets and llamas. For adventure, experience the sensory film following Robinson Crusoe's eyes.
3. Traverse the Dramatic Cliffs at Lands End:
- Explore the dramatic cliffs at Land's End. The rugged coastline offers breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. Capture the stunning views with your camera and appreciate the natural beauty of this iconic location.
4. Discover the Lost Gardens of Heligan:
- Immerse yourself in the enchanting Lost Gardens of Heligan. These historic gardens were rediscovered and restored, featuring exotic plants, sculptures, and hidden spaces. Explore the jungle-like paths, ancient woodlands, and the iconic Mud Maid sculpture. It's a magical escape into nature.
5. Visit St. Ives:
- St. Ives is a popular seaside town with golden sand beaches. Wander through its narrow streets, admire the picturesque harbor, and explore art galleries. Don't miss the Tate St. Ives for contemporary art. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local café and soak in the coastal charm.
6. Explore Tintagel Castle:
- Tintagel Castle, perched on rugged cliffs, is steeped in Arthurian legend. Explore the ruins, cross the dramatic footbridge, and take in the breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Learn about King Arthur, knights, and medieval history as you wander through this mystical site.
Remember, Cornwall's diverse attractions promise a memorable day out – from lush gardens and historic landmarks to stunning coastal walks and captivating views!
