Not everyone has enough money to go swaning off to the Caribbean this summer, but Cornwall is a perfect second option! Unfortunately you can't get a pint for a euro like you can in places such as Spain but the extra pennies you spend on a round of drinks or some fresh sea-food are the ones you have saved on the flight.

Gorgeous Views

The main point of a holiday for me is just to feel away from home and regular life - far enough away so you aren't reminded of work worries and such. The thing about Cornwall is it's like a little piece of heaven stuck onto the busy streets of England. If its hiking that take your fancy there's the beautiful coastal walks, or if shopping till you drop is more your style then try St Ives

B.B.Q Heaven

If your perfect summer evening consists of sitting on a stunning beach watching the sun go down, with the delicious smell of the BBQ wafting over you then of course Cornwall is the place for you! After a long day enjoying Cornwall's enchanting surf and catching the suns rays there's no better way than to start up the BBQ and make sure your sausage, steak, burgers, marshmallows and potato salad is in place!

Good Old Country Pubs

Pub grub is always a winner in my book and if it's got a play area for the kids, a pool table, a darts board and a seating area outside looking out to the sea it sounds like the perfect way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon!

The Theatre

But not just any Theatre, the MINACK Theatre, everyone enjoys a musical or a piece of live drama every once in a while but have you seen one on a cliff-top? Not only do you get to watch your choice of play but you also get to admire the amusing dolphins and hammerhead sharks perfectly happy in their habitat down below, while the sea air rushes through your hair.

Cornish History

If culture is your main interest then Poldark Mine is the place for you, why not follow in the footsteps Of 18th century Cornish Tin Miners! You get a tour down what was once an active mine and get to hear all the history from when Cornwall was its own Country - Kernow.

Flambards

Described as “The best day of the week”! Flambards is a theme park for all the family, it has “thrill rides”, a Victorian Village, crazy golf, the “garden experience”, a wildlife section and of course the aircraft exhibition that it was originally built as 30 years ago. This park is bound to keep you occupied all day long and is suitable rain or shine!

That's seven activities for seven days, all paired with fresh air, stunning locations and, don't forget, in Cornwall your never more than 20 miles from the dazzling beaches!
