"26/05/2021: Just out of lockdown I wanted good food and a great vibe. Got this in masses here. Staff super friendly and attentive, amazing burger and tacos, the sticky toffee pudding was one of the best I've tasted in a long time."
"With its exposed brick, scuffed timber, bare bulbs and blazing wood-burner, this bistro on the ground floor of the Artist Residence Penzance nails the hipster aesthetic, but it has substance as well as style...."
"Looming up in the middle of Mount's Bay and connected to the mainland at Marazion via a cobbled causeway, this abbey-crowned island is an unforgettable sight, and one of Cornwall's most iconic images. Initially a Benedictine monastery, and later the seat of the St Aubyn family, it's a must-visit. You can catch the ferry (adult/child £2/1) from Marazion at high tide, but it's worth arriving at low tide so you can walk across the causeway, as pilgrims did centuries ago."
"St Michael’s Mount – Accessible by a man made causeway, the Mount (as the locals call it) is a tidal island just off the coast that is home to a small population of about 35 people. On your visit, explore the small village and head to the castle at the summit for spectacular views."
"Today’s itinerary could include visits to: St Michael’s Mount | Penzance | Minack Theatre | Porthcurno | Botallack | St Ives Click To Learn More About Day 5"
"Built at the bottom of a china clay pit, the giant biomes of the Eden Project – the world's largest greenhouses – have become Cornwall's most famous landmark, and an absolutely essential visit. Looking rather like a lunar landing station, Eden's bubble-shaped biomes maintain miniature ecosystems that enable all kinds of weird and wonderful plants to flourish – from stinky rafflesia flowers and banana trees in the Rainforest Biome to cacti and soaring palms in the Mediterranean Biome. Book online for discounted admission."
"Eden Project – Home to the largest rainforest in captivity, the Eden Project consists of two massive Biomes housing plants collected from different regions and climates around the world. It is open to visitors to explore and learn."
"Spectacularly set in a former china-clay pit, this garden presents the world's major plant systems in microcosm. The crater contains…"
"Grandly located at the head of the Fal estuary, 4 miles south of Truro, Trelissick is one of Cornwall's most beautiful aristocratic estates, with a formal garden filled with magnolias and hydrangeas, surrounded by a huge expanse of green fields and parkland criss-crossed by trails. The grand, 19th-century neo-Palladian house has been reopened to the public, and hosts exhibitions exploring the estate's history. If you just want to explore the estate grounds, parking costs £4."
"It's a bit of a drive from Falmouth but this gorgeous kitchen garden near Constantine is well worth the detour. Rescued from dilapidation by its current owners, it's been renovated by volunteers into a delightful working garden modelled on the French 'potager'. Highlights include the 30m greenhouse and the super veggie cafe, which is very popular with lunching locals at weekends (mains £6 to £10). There's always a good selection of plants for sale, too."

"Colours Cafe is a Vegetarian and Vegan cafe just tucked away from the busy high street. At the heart of their menu, Colours promotes a healthy and nutritious choice of lunch, snacks and drinks made fresh to order. What better way to end a yoga session with a healthy but equally delicious snack or drink?"
"This charming little Mexican restaurant is popular with the locals and often busy. Their spicy Mexican classics are served with a smile and they have a range of specialist tequilas to try. It is a short walk from the harbour and has a warm, colourful atmosphere."
"It’s an Australian/Asian fusion restaurant with a large and exciting menu full of wonders such as kangaroo steak, and sweet potato and macadamia nut butter katsu curry. There’s options for everyone, including exciting vegan and vegetarian mains, alongside excellent seafood and grills. If you’re an experimental eater with an omnivorous streak, this is the place for you."
"The kebab venue on New Bridge Street, which also supplies burgers, pizzas and chicken dishes, is still up and running."
