The Cornish coast and miles of coastal path is arguably the most popular free attraction in Cornwall. Even on a murky, mysterious day the ocean holds an unmistakable feeling of power but also tranquility too.

Easily accessible from just about anywhere in Cornwall, the coastal path is 630 miles in length but you don't need to traverse all of it to enjoy it's beauty.

Cornwall is also well known for its surfing, especially Newquay - the UK's capital of surfing, which is host to quite a number of surf events throughout the year. The rugged North Atlantic coast boasts good swells that attracts visitors of all ages and abilities. As you would imagine, there are a number of surf schools to choose from too.

We are equipped with a variety of theme parks, adventure activities and amusements to keep them entertained for hours.

Imagine watching a play with the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop. Well that's the wonderful open air ampitheatre, the Minack Theatre (May to September).

Cornwall is steeped in mystery & folklore with a varied and interesting background in pilchard fishing, maybe explore some of the tin mines and don't forget it's many megalithic sites across the county.

If that wasn't enough you could also try Tate Modern at St Ives or maybe even King Arthurs castle in Tintagel.

The Camel Trail is arguably the most successful recreational multi use trail in the UK and provides access to the beautiful Cornish countryside along a disused railway line between Wenfordbridge, Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow.

As the final leg of the Atlantic Coast Express journey from Waterloo, winding alongside the spectacular Camel Estuary, the line was immortalised in 'Betjeman's Cornwall' as "the most beautiful train journey I know".

There are a number of businesses offering a range of bicycles for hire in the town of Wadebridge. Click here for cycle hire.
