Captivating Cornwall forms a peninsula on England’s southwestern point featuring hundreds of sandy beaches alongside quaint fishing villages and you’ll have plenty of time to explore on this nine day holiday. Based in fabulous Newquay, the jewel in Cornwall’s crown, surfing capital of England and home to golden sands and a picturesque marina. Relax at the water’s edge or embark on a sea safari, cruising hidden coves while dolphin spotting. Enjoy a nostalgic trip on the Lappa Valley steam railway or be amazed at the Blue Reef Aquarium watching sharks and octopuses from an underwater tunnel. Don’t miss Trenance Leisure Park with its crazy golf, miniature railway and Newquay Zoo, home to endangered animals. The promenade behind the harbour leads you into the town centre where you’ll find gift shops, cafes, and surf stores. Trenance Gardens is a hidden delight with colourful flowers, backed by ancient trees. Nearby, you’ll find a pleasant lake where you can hire a pedal boat or feed the ducks. Perhaps head to the National Trust’s Trerice House - an Elizabethan manor with fine interiors, formal gardens and a lovely tearoom. We venture out to discover the maritime town of Falmouth and historic Truro, Cornwall’s only city. We also call at the pretty port of St Ives and Land’s End, as well as visiting Cornwall’s Army Museum where history is portrayed through 12,000 fascinating artefact.
