    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!!

    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!

    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!

    Im really jealous Steve!! Love Cornwall and been loads of times..
    After you see some amazing beaches..

    take a drive down to http://www.poldark-mine.co.uk/ ..


    Also try to book a ticket at the Minack theatre before you go and pray for good
    weather!! Great experience IMO.



    Try not to miss the Eden project..
    As you walk up into the dome you will find a Filipino tropical jungle with real humidity and a nipa hut!!

    We toured Cornwall on our honeymoon.
    We both always enjoy Cornwall and always bring back treasured memories.

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



    Some fabulous seafood always on hand.
    Try Rick Steins Café You'd be very pleasantly surprised
