"One of the most famous beaches in Newquay; the self-proclaimed “Centre of British Surfing” is definitely worth a visit. As a west facing bay, it receives most of the swell which cause the waves and although is a “surfing beach” can be a little heavy for complete beginners, with big waves and rips that even the most seasoned surfers can find a little tricky. If you are lucky you may coincide your visit with one of the many surfing competitions that are hosted here throughout the year."

"A world-class surfing beach, Fistral is the town's premier playground for wave hunters. It attracts surfing enthusiasts from around the world who come for the epic waves and stay for the easy-going atmosphere. There are pros aplenty in these west facing waters too, with all the UK's major surfing competitions like Famous Night Surf and Boardmasters Surf Championships happening here."

"The smallest and most secluded of the beaches in St Ives, Bamaluz is tucked in between Porthgwidden and the harbour. Its sand is only exposed at low tide, and you can reach it by descending the steps opposite St Ives Museum. Bamaluz is the only of St Ives’ beaches that is dog-friendly all year round, so you can bring your canine friends, but note there are no facilities or lifeguard services."

"This beach is something of a well-kept secret, because during high tide it doesn’t exist!. At low tide, though, you’ll find an excellent beach that rarely gets busy – even during the summer holidays!. The ruins of the Wheal Dream tin mine overlook this secluded beach, one of the only tin mines to have been in St Ives."

"Gyllyngvase Beach is just a ten-minute stroll along the seafront and is the longest stretch of sand in Falmouth. Wander the coastal path from Gyllyngvase and it will take you along the cliffs to the next beach (Swanpool) in just five minutes. You can continue on a longer hike from here to Maenporth or just enjoy a coffee or a spot of lunch at Hooked on the Rocks at Swanpool where you can enjoy a slap up seafood delight."

"The Cathedral's magnificent triple spires dominate the city. Although it appears old, it was only started in 1880, taking just 30 years to complete. The building incorporates part of the original 16th century church of St Mary."

"Breathe in the sea air and stroll along the seafront towards the unmissable sight of Pendennis Castle perched on its headland. Built over 450 years ago by Henry VIII to defend the country against invasion, this mighty fortress sits opposite its sister castle in St Mawes to make a powerful defence for the entrance to Falmouth harbour. The castle has seen action in many conflicts and was one of the last royalist strongholds to fall during the English Civil War."

"This historic castle was built by Henry VIII and is only a five minute walk from our doorstep. Cross over the bridge over the moat and enter into another era. Explore the circular stone keep, the barracks and the panoramic views of the coast from the castle roof."

"Explore one of Henry VIII’s finest coastal fortresses, Pendennis Castle, which has defended Cornwall against foreign invasion since Tudor times."

"This wonderful medieval house and garden was the family seat of the Godolphin family who, during the 17th and 18th centuries, were one of Cornwall's great mining dynasties. The main house is still undergoing restoration by the National Trust: tours of the interior run on most days (check ahead), but the wider estate can be explored on your own. With acres of woodland, riverside walks and lawns to roam, it's hard to think of a more tranquil place for a stroll."

"It's been off-limits for many years to everyone except film crews, but since spring 2017 Charlestown's historic port has reopened to the public. You can now wander round the Georgian quays, and with a bit of luck, step on board a tall ship docked alongside the harbour, the Kasjamoor, built in 1939. It's worth ringing ahead to doublecheck the port is open, as it's sometimes closed for filming.Joint tickets with the Charlestown Shipwreck & Heritage Centre are available."
