Daymer Bay
A beautiful, sheltered beach on the Camel Estuary, perfect for a relaxing day out. With golden sands, gentle waters, and scenic coastal paths, it’s ideal for families, walkers, and anyone looking to enjoy Cornwall’s natural charm.
Port Quinn
Port Quinn has a rich and slightly mysterious history. Once a thriving fishing village it was said to have been abandoned after a tragic storm wiped out the male fishing population—though this story may be part folklore.
Today, many of the cottages are owned by the National Trust, and the hamlet remains largely untouched, offering a glimpse into Cornwall’s past.
Tintagel Castle
Tintagel Castle sits high on the cliffs with amazing sea views and a magical feel. Famous for its links to King Arthur, it’s a great place to explore ancient ruins, cross the dramatic footbridge, and visit Merlin’s Cave below.
Bodmin and Launceston Steam Railway
Take a step back in time with a steam train ride through the Cornish countryside. The Bodmin Railway offers classic steam journeys, while Launceston Steam Railway gives a shorter ride with vintage charm, a café, and a small museum—fun for all ages.
Golf Courses
The Eden Project
The Eden Project is a unique attraction set in a former clay pit, where huge glass domes house a rainforest and Mediterranean gardens. It’s a fun and inspiring place to explore nature, learn about the environment, and enjoy a great day out.

St Ives is a beautiful coastal town known for its golden beaches and creative spirit. At Tate St Ives, you can enjoy impressive modern art in a striking gallery with views over the sea—perfect for combining culture with a day by the beach.
