Mousehole to Lamorna

Take the South West Coast Path from Mousehole harbour to the lovely cove at Lamorna. Follow the coast path signs with the sea on your left. The path hugs the coast, with opportunities for bird watching and terraces can still be seen where early daffodils were once grown for the London market. Go in April to see wild daffodils in flower. You can return by the same route or follow the signs inland from Lamorna harbour which will bring you back into Mousehole behind the bird hospital and down the hill back to the harbour.

The Old Coastguard

Set above the sea with a palm lined garden running down to the rocks, this is the perfect place to enjoy the creations of Head Chef Matthew Smith. The menu is created using locally sourced produce and guests are welcome to dine on the terrace in fine weather or inside on the Upper Deck. An open fire will keep you toasty during autumn and winter.

2 Fore Street

Chic and stylish, 2 Fore Street is a French bistro-style restaurant. Sitting on Mousehole harbour-front it has views across Mount's Bay as far as Lizard point. The menu makes the most of fresh local produce with classic old fashioned fish and chips, homemade burgers with Cornish Blue cheese, locally caught mackerel smoked in-house, simple salads and toasted homemade bread. After your meal, you can relax in the beautiful secluded garden.

St Michael's Mount

This local landmark looks like something straight out of a fairytale; a medieval castle perched on top of a little tidal island, complete with cobbled streets and even its own harbour and gardens. At low tide, 'the Mount' can easily be reached on foot from Marazion town by way of a man-made granite causeway. Wait for high tide to take the lazy option and go by ferry. If you've got time to kill while you wait, you can enjoy the view across Mount's Bay with a pint in hand at The Godolphin Arms near the ferry departure point.

Penzance

Not quite as firmly on the tourist trail as St Ives, Penzance has real character and is more down to earth. The Jubilee Pool, on the Promenade, is an enormous open-air, Art Deco-style lido, complete with sun terraces and cafe - it's a great place to while away a sunny afternoon.

Minack Theatre

The Cornish theatre with real ‘wow' factor is the Minack. Perched on the cliffs at Porthcurno, the Minack is an open-air theatre-in-the-round – and a triumph of vision over reality.

Marazion

Most people barely glance at the village of Marazion as they head off over the causeway to St Michael's Mount, but it's worth a nose. There are some lovely galleries and a few cosy cafes to linger in.
