Cornwall has a wide variety of quality
attractions - from some of the country's finest historic houses to some
superb gardens and a range of theme parks and farm attractions which
together offer a huge choice of great days out for everyone.
Historic Houses
The great Cornish families have
left a legacy of superb historic houses in Cornwall, many of them owned
by the National Trust, including Cothele, Lanhydrock and Anthony
Arts & Entertainment
The Cornish environment
seems to bring out the creative side of people, a day trip could take
you to the Tate at St. Ives, the Hall for Cornwall in Truro, Sterts
open air theatre at Upton Cross, Callington Mural Trail or the Theatre
Royal in Plymouth, often a test venue for west End productions.
City of Plymouth
The maritime City of Plymouth is
across the River Tamar and is home to the award winning National Marine
Aquarium. Plymouth is famous for its association with the
Pilgrim Fathers who set sail for the New World in 1620 from the Mayflower
Steps on the historic Barbican.

There are also a number of golf
courses including the "course that Jack built" at St. Mellion,
Looe, Bindown and Lanhydrock. Liskeard sports and leisure
centre with swimming pool, squash, indoor bowling, badminton and fitness
