Top 5 things to do in Cornwall

Cornwall is renowned for its glorious sunny weather and golden sandy beaches. This county at the very tip of England attracts over five million visitors every year. There are plenty of activities and sights for couples, families and nature lovers to enjoy. From surfing and watersports to family days out at the Eden Project, Cornwall is a great choice all year round. A stay at a self-catering cottage gives you the freedom to set your own itinerary so you can explore this fascinating county at your own pace. But with so much to do, where do you start? Here are our top five things to do in Cornwall:

1 – Lunch on the coast

From charming seafront restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, to fish and chips on the beach, dining by the sea is a delight in Cornwall. We recommend Port Isaac or Boscastle for a chance to explore Cornwall’s traditional fishing villages.

2 – Get active

Hikers flock to Cornwall from across the UK and it’s easy to see why! With plenty of stunning coastal and countryside walks to suit all levels of experience, walking is a popular pastime here. From gentle strolls to more challenging routes, hiking is one of the most popular activities at any time of the year.

3 – Relax and unwind

Staying in a self-catering cottage allows you the freedom to plan your day as you like. Relaxing on one of Cornwall’s award-winning beaches is a great way to spend your break. Porthminster Beach in St Ives is perfect for families, while The Strangles offers a more secluded hideaway.

4 – Take to the water

With around 200 beaches, Cornwall is a paradise for surfers and watersports enthusiasts, who come from across the globe. Life here revolves around the sea, and Porthleven and Fistral Beach in Newquay are the best spots to catch the waves. There’s also coasteering for adrenaline lovers, or fishing trips for a more leisurely way to enjoy the sea.

5 – Indulge in a traditional cream tea

The local cream tea, served with a Cornish split, is an indulgence that you simply must try! Along with Cornish pasties, it’s one of those treats that you have to make time for when you come to Cornwall. A proper cream tea is one of the best ways to while away an afternoon in one of Cornwall’s many tearooms and cafés.
