Cornwall: More than just a cream tea!

For the activity lovers, the cycle paths are hard to beat, whether you're looking to coast along the flat, scenic routes of the Camel Trail, or its encompassing (and more challenging) Cornish Way, taking you from Land’s End to Bude, passing through fairytale countryside and seaside towns. Bude has perfect beaches for surfing and is a little quieter than the very popular Fistral Beach, though this one is a must-visit for surfers!

Alongside the abundance of blue flag beaches, and the crystal blue seas containing dolphins and seals (take a guided seal safari by boat!), Cornwall is rich with wildlife inland as well! The Eden Project offers the only place in England where you can explore a rainforest in one of the biomes, and Mediterranean plants in the other; not to mention the zipline, 360 swing, and a small bungee jump!

In Penzance, experience the Minack Theatre, an outdoor amphitheater set on a cliff top, showing plays from Easter to October. Other bewitching entertainment can be found in the historic fishing village of Boscastle, host to the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, spellbinding adults and children alike into the world of European Witchcraft!

The music scene in Falmouth offers more enchantment, with live venues on the beach, and an array of bands, it’s the perfect place to expand your music taste. Speaking of taste, places like Falmouth have diverse food scenes; alongside the displays of Cornish pasties and scones, there is street food, and the freshest seafood you’ll ever sink your teeth into! Padstow is also perfect for foodies, and you can find Tarquin’s Gin Distillery nearby.
