Day out in Cornwall Suggestions Needed

Hi

We are going to be in Cornwall this Sunday and haven't got a lot to spend but was wondering what towns have shops open on a Sunday with it being mid November now.

We are staying in Falmouth on Saturday night and was thinking of St Ives maybe to mozey round the gift shops but will they be open on a Sunday in November? The tourist attractions such as Eden project will probably be beyond budget.

Don't really want a town with the big chain stores, would rather a town with individual gift type shops and cosy cafes.

Any suggestions would be good.

  • porthminster beach has a lovely eatery you can sit inside or on the roof terrace weather permitting! Padstow is also nice with good places to eat and trips out to see the puffins and seals- there is a cider factory somewhere nr st ives that good you get alot of free samples
  • May not be a very nice day on Sunday. St Ives is nice. But you could do a lot worse than stay where you are in Falmouth. Plenty of nice little shops and cafes. Avoid going to places like Lizard, Mevagissey, etc as these places have pretty much shut down for the year.
