The last time I went to Cornwall I was in single figures so I can't remember that much apart from eating a packet of pacers in Lands End.

Enjoy the trip Steve!

Visit Sennen Cove and also Falmouth, may be a bit tricky in winter Steve, make more enquiries locally when you arrive. Whatever the weather enjoy it, cos you won't regret it I'm sure!! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

If you want to experience the power of the ocean whilst you are in Cornwall, go to Kynance cove approx 1/2 mile before Lizard point on your right of the main rd., try to catch it as the tide is coming in, Enjoy! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Polperro and Mevagissey are worth visiting.

Dont forget to eat a few Cornish Pasties.

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives
Every wife had seven sacks
Every sack had seven cats
Every cat had seven kits
Kits, cats, sacks, wives.
How many were going to St Ives?

Wiklepedia gives several answers depending how you interpret what was said .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_I_was_going_to_St_Ives

...but it could be they were going to St Ives in Huntingdon and not the one in Cornwall!

Padstow got a lovely beach there but you need to cross a bit rocky entrance but it is very nice. Enjoy!

weather!! Great experience IMO.

We both always enjoy Cornwall and always bring back treasured memories.

Hope you two have a great holiday together and create some treasured memories.
