Whilst enjoying your holiday in Cornwall there are some experiences you won’t want to miss. From stunning scenery to glorious gardens, delicious fresh seafood and wild adventures, there is something for all the family. Start planning an unforgettable holiday.

Food & Drink

Newquay is full of dozens of eateries serving the freshest seafood, including The Fish House at Fistral Beach, The Harbour Fish and Grill, and of course, Rick Stein’s takeaway overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Walk along the coast path and into the serene setting of The Lewinnick, or for fresh catches and cocktails head to Cove 24.

Beaches & Bays

Your holiday in Cornwall wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of over 300 beaches in the region. Kids can explore rock pools teaming with life, couples can relax on the golden sands. Adrenaline junkies can test their skills surfing, coasteering or paddleboarding.

Attractions & Adventures

There are lots of things to do in Newquay and the surrounding villages, meet the animals at Newquay Zoo then explore under the water at Blue Reef Aquarium. Take a steam train ride through the countryside at Lappa Valley.

Cornwall is home to iconic attractions and historical landmarks, including the Minack Theatre, Tintagel Castle and Bodmin Jail. Families love a day out meeting the sea life at the Cornish Seal Santuary, too! Just under an hour’s drive from Newquay.

Explore Cornish towns and villages with a choice of over 50 self-guided Treasure Trails throughout the county. Couples and families alike will enjoy hunting high and low for clues as you embark on an adventure.

Be Close to Nature

Whatever the time of year, the great outdoors beckons with so much to discover out and about in Cornwall.

Spring is the perfect time for an early break as an abundance of flowers come to life. Head to the National Trust Gardens at Trerice near Newquay or the subtropical oasis at Trebah, and don’t miss the Eden Project.

Make the most of summertime, and spend long lazy days discovering Cornwall’s golden sands. Children delight in rock-pooling, take a refreshing dip in the sea or catch some waves on a bodyboard!

During autumn, see the colours of the leaves turn amber and experience late summer sunshine. You might even have the beach to yourself.

Escape in winter, enjoy a break at Christmas or New Year, and marvel at the dramatic and wild landscapes with some storm-watching!
