You could take the main road and be in Penzance in no time at all but where’s the fun in that. Instead meander your way through country lanes and discover hidden gems. Explore Lands End and onwards to Porthcurno with spell binding white sands and a crystal clear ocean, not to mention home to the Telegraph Museum. Take in a show at The Minack Theatre where a varied program of plays, story telling, music and open air cinema will excite one and all, just the view beyond the stage is worth the price of a ticket.
Not far from here is Logan Rock, which is definitely worth the
walk and with pub and cafes that are dotted here and there in places such as St Levan and Lamorna there’s always a delicious bite to be had before you make your way down into the tiny but historic town of Mousehole where galleries and gift shops can keep you busy for hours. It is also a great place to catch a few crabs and get you first glimpse of St Micheal Mount. As you travel around Mounts Bay you will arrive in Newlyn, home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK and fantastic for everything fishy. Penzance is just around the bend, with so much on offer it deserves a page to itself, but the highlights for us are the lido, the shopping and some of the best restaurantsCornwall, if not the UK, has to offer.
St Micheal Mount sits beckoning you over and at low tide you can walk the causeway which is always fun. The gardens are marvelous, and with a calendar that is always pack full of fun for all the family. At high tide boats taxi you to and from the main land for a small cost and we love to listen to the myths and legends that surround the area. Finally Marazion is the last stop on this trip of ours and again is a great place to stroll around and peruse the shops and eaters.
