Cornwall has a long, rich history that includes Celtic worship sites, quaint villages that are nestled into the landscape and castles that lay strewn across the countryside. This storied land attracts travelers from around the world to enjoy its heritage and culture. There’s a spark of adventure that awaits those on holiday who come here to appreciate the scenic beauty. But, there’s more to Cornwall than a beautiful landscape. Below, we’ll give you a few ideas that you can use to enjoy fun days out in Cornwall during your next visit.
Going To the Theater
Remarkably etched into the cliffs of Cornwall in the 1930’s, Minack Theatre, Porthcurno offers open air theatre from May through September. You can enjoy professional stage work during the day or experience the stage illuminated by the stars during the evening. If you’re visiting with children, this can be a fun experience for your entire family.
What Is The Eden Project?
The massive biodomes on display at the Eden Project house an extraordinary collection of tropical vegetation. These are, in effect, the largest greenhouses on the planet and are home to rainforests, wild plants and crops that flourish under the domes. You and your family can observe workshops that describe the importance of preserving nature as our world continues to evolve.
Appreciating Modern Art
Though modern art can be an acquired taste for many people, those who relish the opportunity to learn of new artists and their pieces will delight in visiting the Tate at St Ives. It’s located directly above a sprawling beach and features exhibits and galleries that present collections of paintings, sculptures and archive material devoted to the pursuit of modern art.
Getting Wet
When you’re ready to leave the theatre, biodomes and art behind, you’ll have a range of fun, wet activities to enjoy in Cornwall. You can sail or surf along the gorgeous coasts. Or, join a few of the local fishermen on their outings. If you need something with a faster pace, consider wakeboarding or kite surfing. It’s an opportunity to feel your adrenaline rush while you immerse yourself in Cornwall’s beautiful waters.
Walking and Cycling
Cornwall is also home to many of the most picturesque walking trails in the world. For example, the South West Coast Path National Trail provides over 600 miles of coastal trails to explore. Or, you can rent a bike and explore the serene lanes by the shores or throughout the countryside.
There are dozens of opportunities for you and your family to enjoy fun days out in Cornwall. From the theatre to modern art and from massive biodomes at the Eden Project to activities that will have your pulse racing, Cornwall offers the chance to relax and enjoy one of the most scenic places on earth. It’s time for you to experience Cornwall.
