Welcome to one of Cornwall's newest major attractions. A fabulous place positioned in a sheltered valley with woodland and streams creating a backdrop to sub-tropical plants and contemporary art installations. The Lime Tree Cafe offers freshly prepared, homemade meals and is open all day for drinks, snacks and meals.
Wildlife abounds at this natural attraction so you won't find any cafes but there are the famous chainsaw carvings. Plus you can bring a disposable BBQ to 'Cornwall's number one picnic garden'.
Also known as the 'Giant's Table' thanks to the bones found beneath - somewhat macabre, but there's no evidence of that nowadays. An easy to access and impressive set of stones for a quick fix of cultural heritage in the far west.
A community project offering arts and crafts from local artists along with a tea room.
An Iron Age hillfort and burial chamber set at the top of a hill with fantastic views overlooking the Atlantic coast. This monument lies in open access land and is criss-crossed by several public footpaths.
A good place to visit when the weather isn't up to scratch. This museum can be found on the ground floor of the Town Hall where the original town gaol could be found and a typical cell has been reconstructed along with other town regalia and artefacts.
Seek out this lovely gardens in the heart of Penzance and you won't be disappointed. At any time of year the gardens are well tendered and worth a look. There's car parking nearby and a lovely cafe for a well deserved break.
