Cornwall - Where to go?

Hi I’m booked to go to Cornwall for 4 days in a weeks time. Will be staying around Bodmin Moor. Will be spending 1 day at Eden project but need recommendations of where else to go?

Happy to travel all over Cornwall - quite beaches, places of scenic interest, the 'one not to miss' etc. Any recommendations welcome. Thanks.

    Ummm well Im from Penzance, Bodmin Jail is worth a visit and aparently the food there is lovely also, If you have kids Paradise park and flambards are worth a visit, they are in Hayle and Helston . ... lands End of course is a must for scenic interest as is Porthcurnoes Minack Theatre, they do evening performances thro the summer also if this is of interest.
    Hoping to be a thinner me in 2010!

    Lands End is probably about an hour half from Bodmin,
    Ummm St Ives is pretty for a nice walk and beaches, although can get extremly busy, Ummm .... St Micheals Mount at Marazion is worth a look, you can walk across the giants causeway or take the small ferry boat and go up to the castle there is a resteraunt there or take a picnic ....

    if i think of anything else ill let you know xx hope this helps so far x

    I'll second that! St Ives is a lovely place to go. Lots of lovely places to eat there, such as the Porthminster Cafe, the Tate Gallery to visit, wonderful beaches, etc.

    Padstow is very nice, also if you enjoy walking/cycling you can hire bikes in Wadebridge and cylce along the camel trail (off road safe paths) to Padstow have a look round and then cycle back. Mevagissey/Looe areas are nice too, there are loads of good places to visit.

    Have a look at www.cornwalltouristboard.co.uk all sorts of things on ther, also www.thisiscornwall.co.uk go to the "freetime" button and you can find lots of local things.

    Hope you have a good time!
