Exploring Cornwall
If you’re planning on exploring Cornwall, the possibilities are endless. A few miles away on the south coast are the old harbour towns of Penzance and Newlyn (also famous for its art galleries), the picturesque fishing port of Mousehole, and Marazion - the ancient market town where St Michael’s Mount, with its medieval castle and church, juts up out of the bay.
For maritime enthusiasts, the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth is a must, while theatre lovers should take a trip out to the famous Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, where live open-air performances take place in summer.
For an invigorating blast of fresh sea air and some great coastal walks, head for Britain’s most southerly point, the Lizard, or its most westerly point, Land’s End. Then there are the great and glorious gardens of Cornwall – including Trebah near Falmouth, Trelissick near Truro, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the awe-inspiring biomes of the Eden Project near St Austell.
Of course, we could go on. These are just a few of the possibilities open to you when you stay at The Porthminster hotel – if you want to know more, please give us a call.
