Traveling in nature

Days at the beach

Some options, including St. Ives, are perfect for people who prefer calmer waters and want to take a boat out on the water with friends and family for some fishing trips.

The Strangles beach is known for hosting waves that work for surfers who want to try out new tricks. Newquay is a great option if you want to tour through beautiful buildings and hills before and after you go surfing or snorkeling.

Castle adventures

When it comes to attractions that are hard to come by in your neighborhood, castles stand among the best. In addition to providing the chance to travel through unique structures, tours of castles give you a history lesson of how they were used by some of the most powerful people in the area. You’ll also score the bonus of great views of the surrounding hills and towns.

Tourists looking for classic-looking castles should check out St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, which stands above a beautiful island and showcases strong towers. Cromwell’s Castle sits comfortably by the ocean and provides great views of the ocean and hills, and Caerhays Castle is full of artifacts that provide a history lesson.

Tours

If you want to learn about as many areas as possible during your break, then you won’t be short on options in Cornwall. To cover as much ground as possible, it will be best to take one of the many trains in the county to take you through the Tamar Valley Line, Looe Valley Line and other spots in the outdoors with amazing views.

You have more unique options to learn about the county, such as Cornish Heritage safaris, which take you on jeep and bicycles tours through places that bring you closer to nature. You could also take Segway Adventure tours with friends and family in case you want to get some fresh air that you might not get on car or train tours.

Theatrical entertainment

Vacations require a break from more thrilling activities so that you can enjoy different forms of performance and get ready for your return to the outdoors. One alternative is finding a theater that offers showcases of music, plays, re-enactments and other performances. This can also come in handy if you are looking for entertainment that is different from movies and TV.

Cornwall is full of theaters, such as the Minack Theatre, which is right by the ocean so that you have an amazing view of the water and surrounding cliffs. You can also try out Lane Theatre, which treats its guests with coffee, tea, and a bar so that they can enjoy drinks during performances, or the Hall for Cornwall for a variety of performances.

Consider these options so that you have a blast in Cornwall.
