If you wish to venture further afield then try Padstow with its working harbour and "Rick Stein" the TV Chef's eateries. Try Mevagissey or Looe, both offering quaint streets and picture postcard views.

Gardeners and lovers of plant life are not forgotten either. Cornwall boasts eleven gardens open to the public on a regular basis, with others opening at certain times of the year (brochure available at the guest house). Probably the most famous, as a result of its wide television coverage, is "The Lost Gardens of Heligan" described by their brochure as "asleep for more than seventy years".

Trebah Gardens, near Falmouth, is another garden full of exotic plants and complete with its own small stretch of beach at the mouth of the Helford River.

In 2001, the mind blowing Eden Project opens to the public. This will offer year round exotic plants, rain forests and plants from around the world. One of the large greenhouses ("biomes") is large enough to accommodate the Tower of London and there will be eight biomes. The project is well on its way to completion and to whet your appetite a viewing area complete with plans and models is being opened to the public in May 2000.

Children are not forgotten in Cornwall. Apart from the sea and some of the finest beaches in Europe, Newquay offers the Zoo, boating, Waterworld, Miniature Railway, several mini-golf courses, the Sea Life Centre and Tunnels Through Time or learn to Surf Life Save on Lusty Glaze beach. Just outside the town you have Dairyland and further afield Flambards near Helston and the Lands End Complex - five attractions on one site. All well worth a visit.

Golfers have a wide choice of fine locations. Newquay as a fine 18 hole 6,000 yard, par 69 course overlooking Fistral Beach. Treloy on the edge of town offers a shorter 9 hole course and there are other excellent 18 hole courses at Perranporth, Bodmin (Lanhydrock) and Truro. All of these can be booked through the guest house for your convenience and some offer discounts on green fees.

If you want to treat yourself to something different, why not try a day trip to the Isles of Scilly. Described as having "a tranquillity and quality of life long lost to less isolated places". You can fly from Newquay Airport in just 25 minutes for about £70.00 or drive to Penzance and either sail across on Scillonian III or take a 20 minutes helicopter crossing.

The attractions and events listed represent only a fraction of the ones on offer. To help you choose, we have a large selection of brochures for your convenience.
