Things to do

West Cornwall is blessed with with a mild climate thanks to the Gulf Stream and has some of the most dramatic and unspoilt coastline in the UK. The beautiful beaches include sandy coves for picnics and swimming, wide bays perfect for surfing on the Atlantic  waves and rocky inlets for the intrepid crabber.

Cornwall is famous for its great gardens open to the public, particularly fine in the spring. In our area there is Trengwainton in Penzance, and the picturesque gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan on the Helford River. Just over 60 minutes away is the Eden Project, opened in March 2001, which has already attracted international attention.
