First off there's Lands End, the most southerly point in England, Right around the corner from there is the Marconi Station. While in this area don't forget to grab a pasty from Ann's, Yummy !!
Close by is the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, built by Rowena Cade it is not only a great location for summer plays but interesting to visit.
St.Ives (pronounced Saint Eye-ves) is home to the Tate gallery.
Around Cornwall you will find ancient standing stones, one of the most famous is Men-An-Tol
The Eden Project is a series of Eco-domes housing rare plants from around this world, founded by Tim Smit, it is quite a spectacle and a very interesting day out.
Add to this various Tin Mines and Cornwall is a great place to visit.
St. Michaels mount near Marizion is a good day trip but watch those tides !
You might have guessed I'm just a tad partial to Cornwall, my family hails from Sennen and Penzance so we spent many wonderful summers there. Lots of hiking and biking, beaches are fab ! one of my favourites is Kynance Cove near the Lizard. Ann of the pasty shop is a distant relative and I worked with Tim Smit when the Eden Project was being developed.
Roads in Cornwall can be narrow but with care its very drivable, the train runs from London to Penzance daily and public transport is everywhere.
Enjoy !!!!
We are planning to visit Cornwall in October. Can you recommend any places to stay?
Until a few years ago I'd have suggested going to see a fox hunt in action, for a real taste of traditional English country life.
Now, though, they're banned –*and on some legitimate grounds, I must admit, as they were rather gruesome.
There are similar alternatives, though –*for example, you could look into dogging, which takes place in some of the countryside areas adjacent to London and other major towns.
I would rent a car to go but it s up to you.... a car would take you straight to your destination and think about all those places you can get to see..
