Newquay is the perfect centre for exploring Cornwall

THE EDEN PROJECT
You can’t come to Cornwall without seeing the Eden Project. Since it opened in 2001, Eden’s famous biomes have attracted visitors from around the world. It describes itself as ‘a living demonstration of regeneration’ and it tells the amazing story of man’s relationship with – and dependence on – plants. In the summer months, Eden also hosts a series of sell-out concerts.

SEAL SANCTUARY
Voted best tourist attraction in Cornwall, the National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek is Britain’s leading marine rescue centre. You can find it on the Helford Estuary and it is well worth a visit.

SCILLY ISLES
For the ultimate day-out, why not take the car to Land's End and fly to the sub-tropical paradise of St Mary's, Tresco and the other Scilly Isles? Alternatively, see Cornwall's most famous landmarks from a different angle, relaxing on a fully catered coastal cruise from Penzance. There is entertainment on board, and more on shore - most famously at the Minack, a Roman-style amphitheatre carved from the cliff-face and looking out over the blue Atlantic
